Lime Grove House

The 1850s house has a central entrance and stair hall with rooms R and L. The extension follows this scheme with a central corridor along the length of both storeys. Few original details survive in the earlier part of the house. The drawing room on the L has retained a rich plaster cornice and there are 6-panel doors on the first floor. Other details belong to the 1880s enlargement and remodelling. From the porch there is a doorway to the entrance hall, which is in a half-glazed surround with etched glass. The doorway from drawing room to conservatory is in a similar surround. The open-well stairway has wreathed wooden handrail on cast iron balusters. A new entrance hall was created on the E side. Some rooms retain panelled shutters.

In the late C19 extension to the house the corridor has arches with fluted pilasters with egg-and-dart moulding to the capitals. There is also a full-height dog-leg service stair with turned balusters and newels.
