A fine example of a prestigious Grade 2 listed 18th Century Cotswold stone house set in a central village location, just behind Willersey's historic village garage and along from the well regarded Bell Inn, a traditional 17th Century Cotswold country pub. Currently arranged as two separate dwellings, The Old Bakehouse offers much scope for reconfiguration, enlargement, and redevelopment subject to permissions. Within the main house there are four double bedrooms, one bathroom, and two spacious reception rooms, plus a separate self contained one bedroom, one bathroom annexe with a further kitchen, large reception room, and it’s own private entrance.

A shared access gravel driveway leads to the rear of the house where double gates provide secure access to a hard standing area, terraces and a large secluded private garden. The whole plot measures approximately 0.25 acres.

Of particular note is the exceptional village location in the centre of Willersey, a picturesque Cotswold village with two locally renowned pubs, a historic church, village hall, primary school, and extensive green spaces with views of surrounding hills. The location is also very convenient for the North Cotswold villages of Broadway and Chipping Campden as well as Stratford Upon Avon and the wider transport network.
