Description
Whitelime Cottages, part of Whitelimes Farm, is a pair of cottages that were originally a house dating back to the 16th century or earlier. The structure is timber framed and covered with sandstone blocks and red brick in English bond, with some areas rendered on the ground floor and tile hung on the first floor. It features a plain tiled roof and was originally an end-jettied hall house. The building has two storeys set on a sandstone plinth, with a jetty to the right return supported by brackets. The roof is hipped to the left and half-hipped to the right, with chimneys located to the left, at the rear, and clustered in the centre.
On the first floor, there are three three-light wooden casements and two two-light wooden casements. The ground floor has two two-light casements and two three-light casements, along with a central half-glazed door that is sheltered by a raking hood. There are catslide outshots to the left and rear. Inside, the cottages feature inglenook fireplaces and chamfered beams, as well as a domed bread oven in the rear extension and diamond-set mullioned windows preserved in the outshot.
