Description
Sideways and The Old Bakehouse is a house that has been converted into two houses. It dates back to the 15th century, with an 18th-century facade. The building is rendered and has a stone-slate roof. It is two stories tall and features a four-window range with a mix of sash and casement windows. The left door is a wooden six-panel door with windows in the upper two panels, topped by a flat door hood supported by scrolled brackets. The right door is recessed. There is a central stone chimney stack.
Inside, the right-hand house has much of its 15th-century timberwork exposed. The ground floor has been significantly altered but retains deep-chamfered beams. The fireplace features a restored shallow-chamfered bressummer, and within the fireplace, there is a remnant that may have been part of a cruck-blade. At the rear of the ground floor, there are two segmentally arched brick ovens. The building's plan appears to consist of two parallel ranges with a later addition at the back. On the first floor, the arch-braced collar truss roof is visible, complete with arched, curved windbraces between the purlins.
