The Street, Bolney, RH17

Mansell McTaggart Cuckfield are delighted to bring to the market one of Bolney’s most charming properties, historically ‘The Old Bakery’ a 5-BEDROOM, GRADE II LISTED PERIOD RESIDENCE, believed to have been built in 1892. This truly unique and sizeable home (2,401 sq.ft.) boasting 4-RECEPTION ROOMS, enjoys sprawling accommodation across two adjoining buildings, which, over time, has been subject to renovation and refurbishment, providing versatile and neutrally decorated accommodation throughout, yet offering great opportunity for an incoming purchaser to further improve to their own specification (subject to the usual planning consents).

This truly unique home hosts a wealth of original features throughout, in particular its bread ovens, creating a focal point and talking piece within the living room, with the original shop front now used as a study. The property is ideally situated within a short walk of the village centre, highly regarded primary school as well as having easy road access onto the A/M23.

The accommodation in brief comprises: Ledge and Brace double entrance door into RECEPTION HALL with stripped pine floor giving access to CLOAKROOM with white Victorian-style suite as well as adjacent, separate and spacious UTILITY ROOM with Butler sink and spaces/plumbing for appliances. Two separate wings form the accommodation with each positioned off the reception hall. The NORTH-EAST PORTION boasts a large and bright, part-glass vaulted DINING ROOM laid to a stone tiled floor with electric underfloor heating and step up through glass double doors into KITCHEN fitted with cream-fronted Shaker-style wall and base units with integrated double electric oven and ceramic hob, Butler sink, space for dishwasher and Rayburn (for cooking and heating) upon a tiled floor. Door into RECEPTION/STUDY with woodburning stove inset to exposed brick fireplace and stairs rising to first floor. Further door into FAMILY ROOM/SNUG, formerly the bakery’s shop front, with woodburning stove inset to exposed brick fireplace, large ornate window and external doors to front and side elevations.

FIRST FLOOR comprises MASTER BEDROOM to the front with modern EN-SUITE SHOWER ROOM and TWO FURTHER BEDROOMS both with fitted wardrobe cupboards and served by a separate, modern FAMILY SHOWER ROOM.

The SOUTH-WEST PORTION comprises a sizeable part-vaulted SITTING ROOM with stripped-pine floor and features the original baker’s ovens creating a delightful showpiece. Additionally, are French doors to the rear garden and a turned staircase rising to the FIRST FLOOR LANDING where there are TWO SPACIOUS BEDROOMS each with built-in eaves wardrobe cupboards and a dormer window, served by a FAMILY BATHROOM equipped with a white Victorian-style free-standing claw bath, pedestal basin and WC, part-tiled to walls with a natural stone tiled floor with electric underfloor heating.
