Limewood Villa at St Ebba's Hospital

Limewood Villa at St Ebba's Hospital is a hospital villa accommodation built in 1901 by Clifford Smith for the London County Council. The building is constructed of red brick with a plain tile roof and features a half-butterfly plan, with two wings forming a "V" shape and a short central wing at the rear. It is a single storey with attics at the ends and center, and has seven-bay wings that meet at a gabled entrance bay, designed in the Arts and Crafts style.

The windows are small-pane sashes, some of which have been replaced with single-pane glazing, and are topped with flat brick arches that include keystones. The doors feature vertical glazed panels. The entrance bay has a wide, keyed, segmental archway that leads to a recessed double-door, which has a small-paned upper section, a small-pane overlight, and narrow side-windows. The gable is adorned with applied timber studs on a brattished bressumer, painted pebble-dashed panels, and a three-light small-pane casement window. Additional details include barge boards, a tile-hung and louvered ridge cupola with an ogee cap and finial.

The wings feature a bay nearest the center that projects, along with a third bay that forms a canted bay window. There is a glass-roofed verandah between the two projections, covering the doorway, with another doorway located nearer the end. The building has a moulded wooden gutter, raised verges with moulded ashlar kneelers and ashlar coping, and a corniced brick stack on each wing flanking the center, positioned in front of the roof pitch.

At the rear, the building maintains the same style, featuring a wing with a hipped roof and tall stacks that rise near the eaves. A small late 20th-century block to the right of the wing is not of special interest. Limewood Villa was one of the eight original villas at St Ebba's Hospital, which was the first villa-type institution for people with epilepsy in England. Together with Thorn Villa and Walnut Villa, it forms a group around the cricket ground.
