The Oaks Restaurant And The Old Bakehouse

The Oaks Restaurant and The Old Bakehouse is a house that has been converted into a restaurant, shop, and two houses. It dates from the 17th or 18th century and has been altered in the 20th century. The building is timber framed and plastered, with a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. It has three bays facing northeast, with a stack located in the middle bay behind the entrance, which is a lobby. There is an extension from the 18th or 19th century to the right, featuring an internal stack at the end. The left end has a catslide extension to the rear, along with 20th-century extensions beyond it. On the right end, there is a single-storey rear extension roofed with red clay corrugated tiles, which connects the main block to a 19th-century bakehouse made of red brick and roofed with red clay pantiles.

The Oaks Restaurant, which is the original part of the building, features on the ground floor one 19th-century sash window with 16 lights and a double splayed shopfront with 20th-century casements. On the first floor, there are three early 19th-century sash windows, each with 16 lights and crown glass, as well as 19th-century double doors with four panels, where the upper panels are glazed, and a 20th-century half-glazed door situated between the splayed bays. The Old Bakehouse, located at the right end, has a ground floor with a 20th-century shopfront and a first floor with one 18th or early 19th-century sash window featuring 12 lights, along with a 20th-century glazed door. Inside, there is an original winder stair in front of the main stack, along with chamfered longitudinal beams that have lamb's tongue stops, and plain joists with a vertical section. The walls feature primary straight bracing, and there are wood-burning hearths that have been significantly altered.
