Description
Lime Tree Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that was largely refaced and extended in the 18th century. It is constructed of rubble stone, originally roughcast, with ashlar dressings and a stone slate roof featuring coped gables, a ridge stack, and end stacks.
The front of the farmhouse has a long, two-storey façade with six windows, each containing twelve panes of glass set in raised ashlar surrounds. There is an ashlar plinth and angle piers. The front door, located in the fifth bay, has a raised beaded ashlar surround and a pediment supported by brackets.
The rear of the farmhouse is divided into two sections. The left section, a curved stair-tower with a mansard roof, is of 17th-century origin. The right section is likely from the later 18th century and includes an attached outbuilding range with a half-hipped south gable. The stair tower has a Venetian window with blank side lights on the first floor.
Inside the 17th-century part of the farmhouse are deep-chamfered beams and a two-purlin roof. This roof incorporates reused chamfered spine beams. A fireback, believed to have been found within the house, is dated 1667 IDE.
