Description
Lime Tree Cottages comprises two dwellings, Nos. 29 and 31, located on Lime Tree Walk.

This particular pair represents the only detached house within the overall scheme. The cottages are two storeys high with attics, and they feature stuccoed exteriors with red brick detailing. The eaves overhang and are stepped in bands. The roofs are tiled and include dormer windows. The windows are casement types.
