Description

The Old Bake House, located to the east of Halgabron House in Tintagel, is a cottage that was originally a bakehouse, dating from the late 18th century. The building features rendered and painted slate stone rubble and has a slate roof with a gable end on the left and a hipped end on the right. There is a brick shaft for the stone rubble stack on the left gable end.

The layout consists of a single room plan with an entrance that leads directly into the ground floor room, which is heated by a fireplace located on the left gable end, complete with a cloam oven. The structure is a single storey and has a part-glazed 20th-century door positioned to the left of centre. Inside, the cloam oven is part of the fireplace, which has been partly remodelled.
