Description

This building is a bakery dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of brick and rubble with a plain tiled gable roof, which has a smaller gable on the left side. A 20th-century chimney is located at the rear. The main section of the bakery has a two-unit plan and features two stories with an attic, while the left side has two stories.

The main unit includes two 20th-century windows with casements and a 20th-century double door in an earlier frame, which serves as a hoist entrance and is situated beneath an oak lintel. There are also 20th-century double doors and a window under a segmental arch on the ground floor. The left wing has a 20th-century monopitch corrugated-iron roof but retains some original oak tie-beams and lintels. It features a 20th-century window with glazing bars on the ground floor, along with a 20th-century plank door above it. The left side has a rounded return under brick corbelling and dentilled eaves.

Inside, the bakery has mainly plastered brick walls, some stone rubble, deal floorboards, and a dado. The roof, primarily of oak, dates from the 19th century, as does the staircase. The second floor once housed grinding machinery, which was destroyed by fire in 1950.
