The Limes is a house attached to the Congregational Church, located in Marden. It features a later 18th century facade that may cover an earlier building, with additions made in the late 18th or early 19th century on both sides. The structure is timber framed and weatherboarded, with a straight joint between each section. The left and central sections have a plain tile roof, while the right section has a slate roof. The building is two storeys high with an attic, and the weatherboarding extends up into the parapet. The roof of the left section has a higher ridge and is gabled to the right, adjoining the chapel on the left. The central section has a hipped roof that returns to the rear, with a gabled dormer featuring a boarded hatch on the right hip. The right section has a lean-to roof along the right gable end of the central section. There are ridge stacks at the right end of the left section and towards the right end of the central section, with a gable end stack at the right end of the right section.

The building has irregular fenestration with five sixteen-pane sashes that have thin glazing bars; one sash is set higher in the left section, three are in the central section, and one is in the right section. The ground floor features similar windows, including a tripartite sash in the left section. The left end of the left section has a boarded door with two top lights and a flat bracketed hood. There is a rectangular porch for the Manse, located between the left and central windows of the central section, which is weatherboarded to resemble ashlar and has an ogee pyramidal roof with a panelled outer door flanked by slender Doric pilasters. Another door, consisting of six fielded panels and topped with a triangular pediment, is situated under a stack between the right and central windows of the central section. The rear right return wing of the central section is also weatherboarded and has a gable end stack at the rear, along with a lean-to on its long left side. The interior has not been inspected.
