Lime Farm Cottage

Lime Farm Cottage is a house built in 1811-12, with a slightly later extension and a late 19th-century addition, along with 20th-century alterations. The cottage is constructed of flint with brick dressings at the corners, and the late 19th-century addition features brick in Flemish bond. It has plain tile roofs and corniced brick stacks. Originally L-shaped, the cottage has a later addition that fills the angle, creating a square plan.

The building is two storeys high, with an attic in the front range and two bays. There is a late 19th-century side outshut on the right and additional outshuts at the rear. The cottage has a chamfered brick plinth and a 20th-century half-glazed door to the right of centre, flanked on each floor by 20th-century wooden cross windows, with the ground floor windows having lowered heads. The roof is hipped with two spans, featuring a stack on the left side, another in the valley on the right, and one at the rear right side. There is a board door leading to the outshut.

At the rear, a straight joint indicates the infill addition, which includes a canted bay with a small-pane first-floor window, the lower part of which is a casement. The right bay has its ground floor masked by later outshuts with Welsh slate roofs, while the first-floor window matches that of the front. The left return features a narrow original stair window to the left of centre and a half-gable in brick over the front range adjoining the stack.

Inside, the ground floor has reused 18th-century doors with raised and fielded panels, one set within a surround of reused 18th-century moulded panelling, with additional reused panelling over the doors. There is a dog-leg open string stair with newels that have polygonal finials. The first floor contains board doors and a small wall cupboard next to the fireplace in the rear right room. The attic has old floorboards. Historical records, including the Land Tax Returns and Estate Accounts, indicate the house was built in 1811-12, while the 1834 Tithe Map shows its square plan. Originally, there was a larger house almost attached to the north-west corner, but this has since been removed, leaving only its footings.
