In the 1880's it became a successful bakery complete with salt house and flour stores and supplying many local villages. At some point thereafter, the property was converted into a residential house which retains many of the character features including beams, vaulted ceilings and inglenook fireplace. The versatile accommodation is over 2 floors amounts to about 2,541 sq ft. There are 4 reception rooms, all generous in dimensions including a snug/family room with feature fireplace, dining room with fitted storage cupboards, stunning sitting room with inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove, garden/sun room, modern kitchen with integrated appliances and lastly a cloakroom.
