Description
The Old Bakery is a house dating from the 18th century. It is constructed from coursed rubble stone with quoins and stone dressings, topped by a 20th-century tile roof featuring a moulded stone central ridge and stacks at the left end, along with a stone and brick stack at the right end. The building has two storeys and three 3-light casement windows with central openings, all featuring lintels with keystones. To the far left, there is a stable-type door, and to the centre right, a two-leaved part-glazed door that is accessed by three stone steps.
