Description
The Old Bakery is a house that was formerly a shop and bakehouse, dating from the 18th century or early 19th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. It has a timber frame and is roughcast, topped with a pantiled roof. The building consists of two cells with an end stack and has two storeys plus an attic.
At the centre, there are two vertically panelled doors beneath a single hoodboard; the door on the right originally led to the shop and has a 20th-century casement window replacing the shop window, along with a cornice above the hoodboard. The building features three-light glazing bar casements with hoodboards and a central attic window located below the eaves. The right end has a four-pane shop window with a cornice. There is a large external stack on the left end that tapers to a narrow shaft, and towards the rear, there is a 20th-century entrance porch.
At the rear right, there is a single-storey bakehouse wing that extends beyond a lean-to with a stack, and a catslide roof covers a second lean-to at the rear left. The interior has not been inspected.
