Description

The Old Bakery is a very pretty detached period home situated in the very heart of Hullavington discreetly tucked away down a quaint lane serving only two other houses. In 2016 the property underwent a thorough refurbishment incorporating a side extension, internal remodelling, a new heating system including a new oil tank and boiler, new windows, and overall updating. Dating back to the 1800s as the village bakery, the accommodation harmonises elegant period features with modern upgrades. From first sight, the property is very deceptive in size boasting excellent room proportions and accommodation of over 2,230 sq.ft. enhanced further by two large garages/workshops (630 sq.ft) and a beautiful sunny garden of 1/4 acre.  

The entrance hall features Victorian style decorative tiling which continues to the newly added downstairs WC. The living room is dual-aspect with sash windows complete with window seat and a wood-burning stove within the fireplace. The kitchen/dining room has been remodelled as open plan and beautifully updated with bespoke units around a central island. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, Falcon cooker and fitted bin storage. A large utility room to the side houses further appliances and has both side access in from the driveway and out to the garden. A separate dining room provides excellent additional reception space boasting a high vaulted ceiling and French doors opening out to the garden. The current configuration sees the principal bedroom suite located on the ground floor with patio doors flowing out to the garden for a picturesque outlook. The bedroom is accompanied by a dressing room and full en-suite bathroom with separate shower and bath. On the first floor, there are three further double bedrooms, a family bathroom and private en-suite shower room to one of the bedrooms. 

There is ample parking over a large gravelled driveway providing private off-street parking for numerous vehicles. The two detached outbuildings are an excellent addition. The 31ft garage has as rollover door, lighting and power whilst the second is currently utilised as a workshop but can equally offer a home office space having been fully insulated plus with power and lighting. A former pigsty offers bin storage and sites the oil tank. The outbuildings have scope for further development and planning permission has been applied to remodelled one into an entirely separate dwelling. 

The large garden enjoys a south facing aspect and has been beautifully landscaped into two areas with shaped box-hedging. The principal area has a patio terrace off the kitchen and dining room, a large lawn and colourful flower bed borders. The further area continues vibrant perennial beds, plus a water feature and vegetable patch.
