Description
The Limes and Waterloo House is a house that has been converted into offices, built around 1760 to 1780. It features a rendered exterior over coursed limestone rubble and a hipped roof made of Welsh slate, with a half-hip on the right side wing. There are brick chimney stacks located at the rear and on the right end of the main range, as well as on the rear slope of the wing and the gable end of the rear range. The main part of the building is three stories high with a three-window front on the left side, while the right side has a wing that may be older, along with an early 19th-century wing at the rear.
The main range has three 6/6-pane sash windows with horns on the first floor, set in plain reveals, and three 3/6-pane sashes on the second floor. The ground floor features two 19th-century canted bay windows, each with four pairs of plate glass horned sashes, flanking a late 18th-century porch. This porch is supported by Doric pilasters and has an open pediment that encloses a fanlight and a door with six flush panels. Rusticated quoins are present at the left and right angles, and there is a cill band at the first floor.
The right wing is a two-story, three-window range that projects forward at the center. On the first floor, there is one 6/6-pane sash and two 8/8-pane sashes. The ground floor has one 6/6-pane sash, one 8/8-pane horned sash, and a 20th-century window with a top-hung light, along with a 20th-century half-glazed door. Rusticated quoins are also found at the left angle next to the main range and at the angle of the projection, with a cill band at the first floor. The early 19th-century range at the rear is also connected to the back of No. 55 Dyer Street. The interior has not been inspected.
