Lime Tree

Lime Tree is a small house, likely built in the 18th century. It was divided into two cottages in the 19th century and later reunited into a single house in the 20th century. The structure is made of local stone rubble, with the right-hand end wall rendered. It has an asbestos slate roof, featuring a gabled left-hand end and a hipped right-hand end. There are stacks at the left-hand gable end and a rear lateral stack, both with rendered shafts.

The original layout is uncertain, but the current arrangement likely reflects the 19th-century conversion into two cottages. The right-hand cottage has a lateral stack at the back, and the partitioning of an unheated front room appears to be a 19th-century alteration. The left-hand cottage originally had an entrance and stack in the left-hand gable end, consisting of two rooms, with a staircase located at the back of the central room.

The house is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical three-window range. Most windows are 20th-century 12-pane sashes, except for the ground floor right window, which retains an early 19th-century 12-pane sash. The two ground floor left-hand windows feature cambered slate arches. There is a doorway to the right of centre with an early 19th-century six-panel door and a 20th-century weatherboard gabled porch. The doorway in the left-hand gable end is blocked. At the rear, there is an outshut built of stone rubble with a low-pitched corrugated iron roof.

Inside, all the joinery is from the 19th century. The left-hand gable end fireplace has a stone arch and is currently blocked. The lateral fireplace at the back of the right end has a simple 19th-century kitchen chimneypiece. The central room features a 19th-century staircase at the back, complete with stick balusters and chamfered square newels. The roof consists of elm trusses, with collars pegged and nailed to the faces of the principals, which are morticed at the apex.
