THE OLD BAKE HOUSE, STROUD GLOUCESTERSHIRE
17th Century charm with a 21st Century twist. A captivating country home for a perfect village life. Country views, original beams, open fires, fertile orchard, and the answer to your work-life balance.
As you step through the heavy oak door into the cosiness of The Old Bakehouse, you may feel you have stepped back in time. You can almost smell the freshly baked bread from times gone by (baking your own is a must here!) and the beautiful flagstones beneath your feet are a practical answer to the many scores of muddy feet that have no doubt entered this same door over the last three centuries.
The Old Bakehouse’s 350 year old walls are over two feet thick, making it lovely and cool in the summer, but oh so cosy on those winter nights when the real fires keep the whole house toasty. Come into the homely kitchen, where the painted wooden units blend sympathetically with their surroundings, and the Belfast sink is just made for you to linger over the washing-up; with the truly stunning views over the valley beyond it’s no longer a chore. The utility room keeps all the laundry out of sight, and it’s a great place for muddy wellies and muddier dogs.
The dining room is just made for a big farmhouse table where you can eat and talk together before adjourning to the cosy living room to sit by the fire. Beyond here is a bonus room – an elegant Austen-esque reading room with views over the gardens; here’s the place to write that book you’ve been talking about. Upstairs are four good bedrooms and a 21st Century bathroom, and even a roomy attic bedroom for guests or train sets.
The gardens to The Old Bakehouse are a real delight; if organic veg is your passion, you’ll adore the well-stocked vegetable patch, which comes complete with instructions; the sunny patio is perfectly placed to enjoy the sunset and the views, and children will be absolutely enchanted by the fertile orchard, the secret paths and the playhouse.
As if all this wasn’t enough, The Old Bakehouse has a surprise too – ‘annex’ really does not do this building justice, complete as it is with a full kitchen and a spacious studio. With the attached garage and an extra room downstairs, it represents the perfect work/home lifestyle solution.
This beautiful country home will captivate and delight, and we would love to show it to you. We’ll put the kettle on…
