5 bedroom detached house

The Old Bakery is a delightful five bedroom family home in the heart of Dinton. Comprising of both old and new, it is exceptionally versatile for working from home and family living.

After being extended over the years, this home offers c. 2872 sqft internally. Downstairs has been carefully re-arranged by the current owners to change what was previously a bakery into a light, airy, practical family home. There are various rooms on the ground floor, including a dining room, snug, double-aspect reception room, and sitting room with a bay window. The well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room with a separate utility area leads to a further family room with doors opening to the landscaped rear gardens. The ground floor further benefits from ample storage space and a w/c.

The first floor has five bedrooms (of which four are doubles), two ensuite shower rooms, a good-sized family bathroom, and office space.

Externally there is a gated driveway offering parking for several cars and a two storey outbuilding which has the potential to convert to an annex subject to the necessary planning consents. The walled landscaped rear gardens combine a lawn with year round colour in the borders along with mature shrubs and trees, including a multi-stemmed birch, acer, lilac, and hornbeam hedge. The seating area provides a wonderful entertainment space perfect for al-fresco dining.
