The Old Bakery (Star Corner)

The Old Bakery, also known as Star Corner, is a house that has been partly used as a shop. It likely dates from the 17th century, with the eaves raised in the early to mid-18th century, and it was extended around the same time. The front is finished in stucco, while the rest is painted rubble. It features a scantle slate roof at the front and rear, with brick chimneys on the gable ends and a brick shaft on the front wall towards the left. The building has a T-shaped plan and was probably originally designed with a three-room-through-passage layout, consisting of a higher end on the left, a hall in the middle, and a lower end on the right. In the early to mid-18th century, a wing was added at a right angle to the rear middle, and in the 19th century, a long single-storey outbuilding was constructed at the middle of the right-hand end, which was likely stuccoed in the late 19th to early 20th century.

The building is two storeys high and has a regular south-facing road front with two bays on the left and three on the right. The doorway is set within a stuccoed porch that features an entablature, located in the fourth bay from the left. There are rusticated pilaster quoin strips with entablatures at both the far left and right ends, a flush lateral stack between the second and third bays, and 20th-century windows. The east wall of the rear wing has a mid-floor stair window at the angle, a square ground floor window, and a very wide first-floor window opening above that extends further to the right. Both of these windows have 18th-century horizontal sliding sashes with wide glazing bars. There is also a two-light ground floor window and a four-light first-floor window, each with six panes per light and some crown glass. To the right, there is a wide battered rubble buttress.

The interior of the front part has seen little alteration since the 19th century and retains a remnant of the 18th-century moulded muntin and plank partition from the former through passage. The 18th-century windows in the rear wing are among the earliest examples of this type found in the current survey.
