Limekiln House Slipway Cottage

Limekiln House and Slipway Cottage are two dwellings located on the west side of Lympstone Strand. They were built in the mid-19th century but include earlier work, possibly from the 17th century. The buildings are constructed from a mix of cob and stone, with a roughcast finish, and feature a gabled-end slate roof.

The main house has a single-depth plan with two rooms and a central entrance hall, along with a rear wing and a cross wing to the right, known as Slipway Cottage. The cross wing is heated by an external lateral stack on its right-hand side, while the main range has a left-hand axial stack, which may have originally been at the end.

The structure is two storeys tall and has an asymmetrical front elevation with three windows. The first floor features 12-pane hornless sash windows, and there is a larger 12-pane hornless sash window to the left of the central entrance. The entrance itself is a half-glazed door set beneath a canopy supported by shaped brackets. To the right of the entrance is a tripartite window with a 4:12:4 pane configuration, with its sill at ground level. Between this window and the door is a 20th-century single light window.

A single-storey 20th-century extension, made of roughcast brick, extends forward and to the left of the main range but is not included in the listing. The cross wing, Slipway Cottage, features a first-floor two-light casement window and a ground-floor 16-pane hornless sash window on its inner face. The front elevation of this wing includes an 18th-century three-light attic window with 15 leaded panes per light, where the central light has saddle bars. The remaining windows and door in this wing are from the 20th century. The right-hand external stack has an 18th-century brick shaft, and there is a 19th-century brick extension at the rear. The interior has not been inspected.
