Description

This charming home, dating back to around 1840, has significant local heritage as it is believed to have once been the village bakery and retains a lot of its original character. The property has been thoughtfully modernised, offering both rustic and contemporary features. The property is in an enviable location, tucked away on a peaceful and serene road yet is still at the heart of village life with the delightful boutiques, shops, restaurants and bars of Bridge Road just around the corner.
You enter the property via the integrated garage which doubles as additional reception space. At the rear the sturdy front door brings you into a welcoming hallway. To your left you enter the utility room which in turn leads to a spacious bedroom as well as a shower room/wc making it an ideal self-contained space for guests or independent living. It is believed the unusual arched windows on the ground floor originally served as vast ovens from which bread was sold.
On the first floor there are two spacious double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom features an original fireplace, a generous dressing area and a truly stunning contemporary en suite bathroom. With beautiful grey tiles on the walls and floor, the room showcases a freestanding bath with a striking black slate tiled backdrop. The second bedroom offers a touch of charm with a Juliet balcony. The stylish family bathroom sits conveniently opposite.
On the top floor, the living area takes centre stage. Loft-style living at its very finest with solid oak original floorboards and exposed reclaimed wooden beams gives the space an airy, open and unique feel. A feature fireplace adds warmth and character and is the perfect focal point for a generous seating arrangement. The rustic kitchen is comprised of several individual units providing a practical and stylish space for cooking and entertaining with plenty of adjacent space for a large dining table and chairs. The room also has access to a small balcony where you can take in views of the surroundings as well as throwing back the doors in the summer months. The original winch that was used to hoist flour up into the storage loft still hangs above the balcony.
There is planning permission to extend this balcony across and outwards and to create a second set of French doors leading on to it (2012/4343).
There is also planning permission for an additional arched window on the stair well wall between the ground and first floors (2013/3486).
