The Old Bakery is an attached six bedroom family home situated within the Conservation Area of this popular town with a good selection of shops, facilities and the renowned Cranbrook Grammar school.

As its name suggests it was originally the town's bakery with adjoining cottage and is understood to date from the 17th century with later 20th century additions, retaining an abundance of charm and character together with many original features from when it was a bakery with 21st century fittings including stylish window shutters and modern bath and shower rooms.

Internally, it offers extremely well proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors amounting to over 3,000 sq ft. The reception rooms are perfect for entertaining and include a drawing room, a beautiful room with open fireplace, stairs to one end up to a galleried library/study and french doors to the other, opening out to the terrace; a sitting room with wood burning stove and original bakery ovens in situ; a snug with flagstone flooring; and a versatile, part panelled music room.

The kitchen/dining room is an excellent family space, equipped with a comprehensive range of hand painted cupboards and beech work surfaces, an electric three oven AGA with gas hob and an integral dishwasher and fridge, with further appliances available by separate negotiation. Off the kitchen is the rear hall with external access, a utility room with Belfast sink, fitted cupboards and space for white goods and a shower room with cupboard housing the boiler.

A total of six bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floors, these are served by a family bathroom and a refitted well appointed en suite bathroom to the main bedroom. All of the bedrooms benefit from built in cupboards, bedrooms one and six are located on the second floor and each is accessed via its own separate winding staircase.

Outside a paved terrace stretches around to two sides of the house where there is a part walled rose garden enhanced by mature wisteria. Steps lead to different terraced areas and continue to the lawned garden well screened by fencing and hedging to the boundary. Several useful detached brick built outbuildings include the old privy which is used as a mower store and tool shed and a second building currently used as a gym. There is also a double garage/workshop and off road parking.
