Bakehouse at Strawberry Hall

This is a late 19th-century bakehouse and storage barn. The building is constructed of mixed-stock brick in a Sussex bond, with a clay-tile roof. It has an L-shaped plan, aligned east to west, with a projection to the south at the west end. The east-west range incorporates a covered storage area to the east and a former bakery to the west, both accessible from the south. An opening faces north at the east end, and the north-south range forms a barn with vehicle access from the north.

The building is a low, single-story structure with a steeply-pitched roof, dominated by a central, corbelled chimney stack with three clay pots. The south elevation has a planked entrance door to the bakery, which is also lit by a multi-paned casement window. The east end is open-fronted, supported by a cast iron column and a 20th-century timber screen. The west end is formed by the south gable of the north-south range. The east and west elevations are plain. The north elevation faces the road and features a set of functional 20th-century doors in the west end, beneath a timber-boarded gable. A high-set planked taking-in door, with iron strap-hinges, is located at the east end.

Internally, the rooms have bare-brick walls. The bakery has a brick fireplace surround with a 19th-century fire grate, and a brick-built bread oven with a kiln below, canted off to the north. The east-west range has a cobbled floor and a roof of machine-cut timber, with common rafters meeting at a ridge board, supported by purlins, tie-beams, and collars. The north-south range has a similar roof structure and a single, open-plan space with an earth floor.
