Description
Limekilns is an earlier 18th century symmetrical two-storey, five-bay house featuring a sunk basement. An earlier 19th century porch has been added to the west, and there is a full-height wing to the east that dates from the early 20th century. A single-storey steading range, which is now part of the domestic space, adjoins the south gable.
The exterior is harled with painted ashlar margins and chamfered reveals, which are deeply chamfered on the west side. The windows have modern glazing with imitation sashes, and there is a basement light at the south end.
On the west elevation, there is a flat-roofed, painted ashlar wide central porch with broad clasping pilasters and a door located in the re-entrant angle. The porch features a splayed base course, a lintel/eaves course, a moulded cornice, straight skews, rebuilt brick end stacks, and a slate roof. The east elevation, which was originally similar, has four bays instead of five, with a central wing that includes a two-bay gable and an apex stack topped with a wide cornice.
A rubble-built wall encloses the garden to the east and west, with iron gates on the west wall featuring spiked rails.
