Lime House

 
Welcome to the Lime House. This newly built house was constructed in 2005 to replica an old traditonal style farm house.
The main chimney is finished off with queen closures dental course.

Exsposed brick walls have been built in flemish bond with 400 years old oak beams built in that were carefully taken from an orginal building.

This picture shows the begining of the porch to this great project.


This image shows the beginning of the first lift.

The beauty of the fact that the old property that stood here before was built in lime mortar is that it enabled us to clean and set aside the old bricks for re-use. Therefore we were then able to mix these old bricks with a new brick which was a perfect match ( supplied by Lambs Bricks) .

A close up of a panel of brickwork showing the integration of the reclaimed bricks mixed with the new.
New Lambs bricks are mixed with orginal recalimed bricks again taken from the existing building, (new blue glazed headers).



The bonding around the windows & door have been carefully thought out to make every thing symmetrical to follow the bond above the door & windows.

Who said brickwork was'nt fun. ...............
This picture shows a nearly complete arch with 5mm joints.

 

The house is almost near completion just a waiting front door. The website will be up dated when the has been completed.
