The Old Bake House
The Old Bake House is a charming quintessential thatched property having the added benefit of not being listed. The Old Bake House presents rendered elevations under a thatched roofline (the thatch is nearing the end of its useful life). The accommodation extends to approximately 1192 sq.ft and is arranged over two floors. The property is believed to date back to the 17th Century and as its name suggests used to be the village bake house. Of particular note is the music room and sitting room with double sided wood burner and an array of exposed timbers. The ground floor also comprises entrance lobby, kitchen/breakfast room, bathroom, and rear lobby with exposed brickwork leading through to conservatory. From the rear lobby a staircase leads up to the first floor where there is a split level landing to one side giving access to two bedrooms (one interconnecting) and an additional bedroom on the other side of the landing. The property is now in need of some updating but provides a purchaser with an exciting opportunity.
Outside
The garden to The Old Bake House can be found at the rear of the property and features a small terrace area ideal for barbecues and al fresco dining.
