Description
The Old Bakery is a house that was originally a bakery, dating from the 16th and 18th centuries, with 19th-century additions. It features timber-framed and clay bat walls that are plastered with decorative pargetted panels. The building has thatched roofs and tall rectangular gault brick stacks at the gable ends. There is a rear outshut with a slated roof. The structure is two storeys high and has a two-unit plan, incorporating two bays from a 16th-century timber-framed barn, which has been extended with a single-storey range to the north-east. On the ground floor, there are two sixteen-paned hung sash windows with flush frames, and two twelve-paned hung sash dormer window replacements. The exposed open truss of the barn is visible at the south-west gable.
