The Old Bakery

The Old Bakery is a house with a shop, built in the mid to late 19th century. It features a stucco exterior, likely over brick, with brick stacks and 19th-century chimney pots, topped by a slate roof with crested ridge tiles. The building has a double depth plan and faces west onto High Street. The main rooms are located at the front and are wider than those at the rear. Access to the service area is through a passage at the left (northern) end, next to the shop, followed by an entrance lobby leading to the house and the room at the right end. There is a stack at the right end and a lateral stack at the left rear.

The building is two storeys high and has an irregular three-window front featuring small horned 12-pane sash windows. The ground floor includes a shop window, which, although 20th-century, retains glazing bars and matches the size of the original window. Above it is a 19th-century fascia board with a moulded cornice and shaped brackets at each end. The shop doorway is to the left and the house doorway to the right, both fitted with 20th-century doors. A plank door provides access to the through passage at the left end. All windows have flat stucco architraves, and flat pilasters frame each end of the building. The stucco on the left side projects forward below the first floor level, encompassing all three doors and the shop window. The roof has plain deep eaves and a low pitch. The interior has not been inspected. The Old Bakery is part of a group of attractive and varied buildings along the High Street, which ascends towards the Church of All Saints.
