Description
Nos. 1 and 2, The Limes is a detached house, now divided into two homes, built around 1815 for Harris and Maclean. The building features Flemish bond red brick with ashlar limestone dressings, brick chimneys, and a Welsh slate roof. It is two stories high with an attic and cellar, and has a two-storey addition to the west. A boundary wall runs south from the front of the building.
The front elevation has a three-window arrangement on the main block, with outer 16-pane sash windows and a 12-pane window above the central doorway, which has moulded double doors and gauged brick arches. There is an ironwork porch with a hipped roof. The building has chamfered alternating quoins, a plain ashlar band at the upper floor, a plain ashlar eaves band, and brick gable end chimneys. To the left, there is a single-window sash with timber lintels, featuring a 16-pane window on the ground floor and a 12-pane window above. The gable ends have a plain band that continues from the eaves, interrupted by two attic sashes on the west end and a single attic sash on the east, all with gauged brick arches.
At the rear, the building has ashlar stone below the upper floor band. There is a central two-storey lean-to outshut with a two-window arrangement of 12-pane sash windows, featuring voussoir lintels in the upper floor brickwork. A doorway on the east side of the outshut has a six-panel moulded door in a reeded frame with a glazed screen, now fitted with 20th-century obscured glass, and a 12-pane sash window with a voussoir lintel above. The interior has not been inspected.
The boundary wall is continuous with the side walls of No. 1, The Limes and Stanley Lodge, featuring plain stone coping that sweeps up at each end to form the upper floor banding. This wall is contemporary with the adjacent buildings and is included to complete the frontage to the road.
