Limetree Cottage Including Stables Adjoining South

Limetree Cottage, including the stables adjoining to the south, is a small house and attached stables likely dating from the early to mid 17th century. The building was refronted with raised eaves in the early 19th century and extended at the rear in the late 20th century. The stables were added in the early to mid 19th century. The cottage features a plastered timber box-frame construction with a concrete tile roof and gabled ends, while the stables are built of flint and brick with brick dressings and a gable-ended slate roof.

The plan consists of a 2-bay box-frame with a 2-room layout, and there is a narrow bay at the right end that may have originally been part of No 16 Salisbury Road. This bay now contains a stack serving the right-hand room and a winder staircase. The left room's gable end stack has been replaced by a late 20th-century staircase. The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical two-window front. The first floor has 2-light 19th-century metal-frame casements with small panes, while the ground floor features a late 20th-century casement on the left and a large 20th-century bay window with a central porch and door on the right. The late 20th-century extension at the rear is rendered and has a lean-to roof.

The attached stables to the left (south) are also two storeys high, with a doorway on the right that has a 20th-century porch, a central loft doorway with a plank door, and flanking 20th-century casements. Inside, the right-hand room has a large chamfered stone fireplace with a Tudor arch, a brick interior with a niche, and a timber bressummer above. There is a chamfered axial beam with bar stops and chamfered joists featuring step and ogee stops. The left-hand room has a chamfered axial beam with step stops and unchamfered joists. A winder staircase with a chamfered newel and a balustrade at the top features wavy splat balusters. The joinery is from the 20th century. The posts of the box-frame do not have joists, and there are large clasped side purlins with simple bladed scarfs. The only truss is a closed truss at the centre, and the roof above the collar has been replaced, but it appears to have originally been of the common rafter type similar to No 16 Salisbury Road.
