1. Alive with history - being Grade II Listed and formerly two properties with a later extension, The Old Bakery is thought to date back to the early 18th century and has been an inn and more recently, Howarths Bakery which closed in c. 1957. The current owner has a framed original brown paper bag on the walls in the kitchen. There was also evidence of the principal bedroom being used as a tailor's workshop and the rooms to the south, on the first floor used to make shot for guns. One of the stone slabs in the cellar is believed to be an old gravestone from a stonemasons on Bective Road.
2. Character and charm abounds - many of the original features remain with oak ceiling beams, lintels, timber uprights, pine panelled doors, sash windows with panelled seats, niches, stone internal steps, oak staircase, wall panelling, decorative terracotta basin, moulded architraves and picture and dado rails.
3. Come on in - with an approximate internal area of 3059 sq ft (284.2 sq m) including the cellar and garage, the accommodation is spacious with well-proportioned rooms. There is a central door but the current owner uses the timber door to the side for everyday use. The hall leads into a spacious dual aspect L-shaped sitting/dining room with two bowed windows and door out to the courtyard garden.
4. Sociable living dining kitchen being open to the apex, the L-shaped room is light filled and welcoming. The kitchen is fitted with base and wall units, gas hob and electric oven and grill and has two large windows to one wall overlooking the garden, as well as two skylight windows. Backing up the kitchen, is a utility/laundry room with base and wall units, sink unit and space for a washing machine. There is also a separate cloakroom.
5. Good sized cellar, c. 246 sq ft (22.9 sq m) - stone steps lead down to an excellent cellar with flagged floor, stone stillages and a door into the garden.
6. Sweet slumber - a return staircase leads to a first floor landing. The generous principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes to one wall and an open arch leading to the dressing room with additional wardrobe space. There is also an en suite shower room. There are two further doubles. The modern four piece bathroom is a good size and attractively fitted. Also to the first floor is an office with fitted furniture.
7. Second floor - the staircase continues up to a landing with two rooms off. Bedroom 4 is open to the apex with beams, oak panelling and has a large Velux providing lovely roof top views. There is also a useful store room/bedroom 5 also with a Velux.
8. Parking - double timber doors lead directly into a large single garage with useful workshop to the rear.
9. Delightful walled courtyard garden to the rear - being west facing with well-stocked borders, the garden bursts with colour in the spring and summer months including a feature clematis covered former street lamp; it's private and the perfect sanctuary from which to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. A glazed verandah has been added for covered seating and doors lead out from the sitting room, the kitchen, utility room and also from the cellar.
10. In the heart of the award winning and ever popular town of Kirkby Lonsdale, within the stunning Lune Valley. Back to listing
