Description

The garden wall and gate posts at The Limes were built in the early 19th century. They are made of deeply-coursed dressed sandstone, featuring ashlar copings and piers. The wall is plain, with steps leading up to the front door of The Limes. The gate piers are rectangular in shape with rounded tops. This structure contributes to the overall setting of The Limes.
