Description
The Old Bakery is a charming detached Grade II listed property understood to date from the 18th century. Situated within the Conservation Area, in the centre of this historic sought-after village, the current owners have sympathetically refurbished this unique home enhancing the beauty and character that this property has to offer.
The current accommodation within the house is arranged over three floors, together with a cellar, perfect for storage. Over the ground floor there are two reception rooms; a dual aspect beamed sitting room with a beautiful inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove, and a dining room which is understood to have been the original Bakery Shop with the original shelving.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of bespoke hand painted cupboards, a pantry cupboard, Rangemaster cooker and integral Bosch dishwasher. Off the inner hall is a utility room with further cupboard space and space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge/freezer. A cloakroom concludes the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor, there are three bedrooms, a shower room and a bathroom, both of which were fitted in August 2023. Bedrooms one and two enjoy breath taking southerly views over The Weald, whilst all three bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes and a dual aspect. Stairs lead up to the second floor where there are two further interconnecting attic bedrooms of wonderful proportions.
Stone steps lead through the well established terraced gardens from a pretty courtyard area. There are various different levels to the garden, with season shrubs, a vegetable garden, log store, fruit trees and spring bulbs including daffodils and primroses. Half way up there is a seating area where the far reaching views can be enjoyed, at the top of the garden is a gate which gives access to the Greensand Way and Sutton Valence School grounds, ideal for dog walking. Outbuildings comprise a detached summerhouse, a garden shed with power and a greenhouse.
