Description
The Old Bakehouse is a house that was once a bakery and shop, dating from the early 18th century. It has a timber frame with plaster and features 20th-century pargetting, topped with a peg tile roof. The building has a gable at the northwest end and is half hipped with a large gablet at the southeast end. It stands two storeys tall, with an off-centre ridge line stack and a smaller stack located behind the ridge near the southeast end.
The front of the building has four early 19th-century double-hung sash windows on the first floor, each featuring a single vertical glazing bar and moulded architraves. The ground floor also has four similar but deeper windows and an off-centre 20th-century open porch with a flat roof. Behind the porch is an early 19th-century door surround that includes a continuous moulded architrave and a superimposed frieze with triglyphs of two different patterns. On either side of the door are half columns that resemble the Doric style, which are remnants of an earlier porch. At the rear of the property, there is a single-storey wing that contains a bakehouse oven.
