Description
The Old Bakery is a former farmhouse dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with alterations made in the 19th century. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble and features a new tile roof, integral brick gable end stacks, and flat stone coped gables. The building has a large two-room plan and stands two storeys high with attics. The central front door is flanked by two modern windows that are set under timber lintels. There are also two gabled dormers with drop finials, which are supported by a segmental wood strip on brackets. The property includes modern window frames and a porch.
