Lime Grove and Barn Adjoining

Lime Grove and the adjoining barn are a farmhouse and barn dated 1765, with an inscription above the entrance that reads: "JOHN & RUTH RITTSON 1765 TO KNOW THEY SELF IS A PROOF OF WISDOM." The building features painted incised stucco walls, an eaves cornice, and V-jointed quoins. It has a graduated greenslate roof with roughcast chimney stacks. The extension and barn have lower walls made of squared blocks of calciferous sandstone, with the upper parts constructed of bricks, all beneath a graduated greenslate roof.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and consists of three bays, with a two-storey, three-bay extension on the left and a right-angled two-bay barn under a common roof. The central entrance features a panelled door in a stone surround, which is flanked by three-light stone-mullioned windows. Above, there are sash windows in raised painted stone surrounds. The left return wall is slate hung, while the right return wall has a sash window in a painted stone surround. The extension includes a modern door in a plain opening beneath a blocked window, and small casement windows in plain reveals. The barn has a large flat-headed cart entrance facing the road and a left doorway in a stone surround inscribed 1767. At the rear of the house, there is a round-headed staircase window with intersecting glazing bars in the head.
