Set in the heart of Hunningham, The Old Bakehouse is a rare Grade II listed thatched cottage extended to provide flexible six-bedroom accommodation. The house combines exposed timber beams, an inglenook with wood burner, and a recently re-thatched roof (approx. 18 months ago) with a sizeable annex ideal for multi-generational living or rental income. Large rear gardens back onto open countryside and the plot includes off-street parking and mature trees.
This home will suit buyers seeking character and space in a very affluent, rural setting — families, downsizers wanting village life, or buyers prepared to adapt an historic property. The annex already offers independent living facilities (kitchen, shower room and bed/sitting room), giving immediate versatility. Practical benefits include mains gas central heating, double glazing (pre-2002) and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal.
Important practical notes: the property’s Grade II listing will mean consent is required for many changes and may complicate alterations or modernisation. The listing and the vendor’s comment that “additional works are required” mean buyers should budget for further repair or refurbishment and commission a detailed survey. Council Tax Band E and the property’s age-related quirks should be factored into ongoing costs.
Overall, The Old Bakehouse offers significant character, scope and a strong village location with countryside views. It is best for purchasers who value historic charm and are comfortable managing listed-building responsibilities or who want a project with immediate usable accommodation and garden space to adapt.
