The Bakery

The Bakery is a shop with offices above, dating from the 16th or 17th century, with alterations and an addition from the 19th century and an early 20th-century shop front. It features a timber-frame structure with partly plastered brick cladding and a gabled slate roof, which includes an L-plan brick stack with a cap on the rear wing. The building has a two-unit plan with an extension to the left and a rear wing.

The exterior is two storeys high and has a two-window range, with a three-storey, single-window section to the left. There is a bracketed fascia with a frieze and cornice above the ground floor, plain eaves, and a top brick cornice with wide dentils on the left side. The shop front has a recessed central entrance with a small-paned glazed door, flanked by canted shop windows that have leaded upper lights, all connected by a cambered leaded glass fascia. The entrance features a panelled door and a through passage to the left. On the first floor, there are two windows with stucco wedge lintels above 10/10 sashes; the canted oriel to the left has 2/2, 8/8, and 2/2 sashes, while the second floor has one 4/8 sash, all of which are horned. The right return of the building is just visible, showing a wall post and the ends of a tie beam and principal visible on the first floor.

Inside, the ground floor has chamfered beams, with some beams being richly moulded.
