Description
The Old Bakehouse is a pair of houses that were originally three cottages, built in the late 18th century and early 19th century. The structure is made of brick and features a slate roof with two ridge stacks. The bottom course of bricks is tarred, and the walls have been rendered. The east front has two storeys and five bays. There is an off-centre doorway with a cambered arch and a four-panel door. To the right of the door, there is a three-light sliding sash window with a flat arch, followed by another three-light sliding sash with a cambered arch, and then a small casement window with a cambered arch. Beyond these, there are two more three-light sliding sash windows. Above, there are four three-light sliding sash windows, all with cambered arches.
