Chapel Street, Dulverton

The Old Bakehouse is an attractive semi-detached period cottage, once part of the old bakery and retains some lovely period features and a warm, welcoming feeling. The property has pretty gardens to both the front and rear, and stands alongside, but well above, the mill leat. The cottage is an easy walk from Dulverton town centre but tucked away on a quiet side street. Both the front and rear gardens are enclosed by stone walls and has a multitude of colourful shrubs and flowers.

A small entrance hall leads into the spacious and welcoming accommodation. The double-aspect sitting room has a woodburning stove and double doors opening directly onto the garden, there is also a double-aspect study, providing an ideal home-working space or additional bedroom. The spacious kitchen/dining room is a particular feature of the property. The kitchen is fitted with a range of cupboards, together with a range cooker and space for a fridge. A wonderful original feature from the cottage's days as a bakehouse is the curved stone breakfast bar/kitchen island which incorporates the kitchen sink. The dining area provides ample room for a large dining table and double doors open onto the garden. A useful utility room leads from the kitchen, with a door providing access to the front garden. There is also a separate cloakroom with WC.

Upstairs, the landing leads to two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both enjoying a delightful outlook and having the benefit of double-aspect windows and built-in hanging cupboards. The bathroom is fitted with a bath with shower attachment, WC and pedestal wash basin.

Outside, wrought iron gates lead from Chapel Street into the pretty front garden with an array of flowering shrubs and a bridge over the mill leat. The front path is subject to a pedestrian right of way in favour of the neighbouring property, providing access to their side gate. To the rear of the cottage is a delightful sunny, walled garden with a paved patio area and beautifully planted with a variety of flowers and shrubs.

Perfectly located on the level, right in the centre of town, The Old Bakehouse is just a short stroll from Dulverton's excellent range of shops, pubs, restaurants, doctors' surgery, pharmacy, library, and local school.
