Description
The Old Bake House and The Village Stores is a pair of houses and a shop dating from the early 18th century to the early 19th century. The building is constructed of painted brick and red brick, topped with a plain tiled roof. The front range is two storeys high with a half-hipped roof and a stack on the left side. On the first floor, there are three glazing bar sash windows, while the ground floor features two plate glass windows with gauged basket-arched heads. A central half-glazed door is topped by a flat hood. To the left, there is an extension clad in corrugated iron that serves as a shop. At the rear right, there is a short connecting entry with one glazing bar sash on the first floor and one tripartite glazing bar sash on the ground floor. The Old Bake House section is also two storeys high, with dentil eaves beneath a hipped roof on the right and a stack on the left. It has three leaded wooden casement windows on each floor, a boarded loft door to the left, and a rib and stud door to the right on the ground floor.
