Bakehouse And Stables 20 Metres North Of Jane Austen'S House

The Bakehouse and Stables, located 20 metres north of Jane Austen's house, is an early 19th-century range of buildings that forms an L-shape and encloses the rear courtyard. The structure features mainly brick walls in Flemish bond, with some areas of boarding, and has a plain tiled roof. It is a single-storey, irregular group of buildings that includes a bakehouse and laundry at one end, followed by a hay-store, a taller corner block that may have served as a coachhouse, and a longer lower arm that houses the stables, which culminates in a gable facing the roadway. The windows are casements, and the doors are plain. Inside the bakehouse, there is a large oven and a clothes boiler. The size of this range, along with the house, suggests that it may have originally functioned as an inn.
