*NO FORWARD CHAIN *The Limes dates back to the 15th century making it one of the oldest houses in The Village with later 16th & 17th century additions, creating this beautiful rambling family home full of quirky corners. The historic architectural features include Dragon and Crown posts inglenook fireplaces bressumer beams and moulded posts and beams throughout. Today this Grade II listed stunning residence is an eclectic mix of architectural historic features spreading over the last 600 years. The present owners have thoroughly enjoyed living at The Limes and feel honoured to have been the custodians of this landmark building.
