THE Old Bakery in Shrewton is a sympathetically-restored and converted village home with history dating back to the 1800s and was a working bakery until its closure in 1977.

During the renovation, many of the original period features were retained.

The accommodation in the house is complemented by the renovated “Bake House” and walled cottage garden.

There are four reception rooms, including a sitting room/ snug, drawing room with French windows to the garden and an open fireplace, dining room with another fireplace, study, kitchen/ breakfast room, utility room and cloakroom.

On the first floor there are four double bedrooms. The master bedroom is large with dual aspect windows with views over the rear garden and a bathroom and cloakroom. An internal door allows these rooms to be closed off, creating a master or guest suite.

There is also a family bath room.

The Bake House has been used as a thriving holiday let and space for family and friends to use. Converted in 2012 by the current owners, the space has been arranged to create a contemporary open-plan kitchen/diner on the ground floor, snug and sitting room on the first floor with steps leading through to a bedroom and shower room.
