Main Street, Barlestone

Welcome to Bakers Croft, a truly remarkable and beautifully maintained period home, steeped in history and character, nestled in the heart of the ever popular village of Barlestone.

General Description - This distinguished detached residence offers a unique blend of 16th century charm and thoughtfully modernised living, providing the perfect balance of heritage and comfort. Originally a small thatched house in the late 1500s it was converted into a large farm house in the early 1600s then separated into two quaint cottages and finally the home has been seamlessly and sympathetically combined into a breath taking expansive family dwelling by the current owners, in a way that perfectly preserves its rustic allure while incorporating stylish finishes throughout.

Accommodation - From the moment you approach the property, you are met with a sense of exclusivity and tranquillity. A gated entrance encloses a spacious tarmac driveway, offering ample off-road parking and leading to a handsome brick built porch that sets the tone for the characterful interiors that await within. Once inside, the home opens into a warm and welcoming family lounge, centred around a striking feature fireplace adorned with original bricks and exposed woodwork, echoing the property's rich past.

The heart of the home is the stunning open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, designed for both functionality and sociable living. This space flows effortlessly into a dedicated utility room and continues into a beautifully extended living room at the rear. Here, soaring vaulted ceilings and expansive bi-folding doors create a bright, airy atmosphere, drawing in natural light and offering direct access to the garden, perfect for modern family life and entertaining. An inner hallway, accessed from the kitchen, leads to a formal dining room ideal for special occasions, a separate study providing a quiet workspace, and a stylish, contemporary family bathroom.

Upstairs, the home continues to impress with elevated ceiling heights that accentuate the sense of space and showcase the exposed timber framing, an authentic ode to its historic roots. The first floor comprises four generously sized bedrooms, offering flexible accommodation for growing families or guests. The principal suite benefits from a sleek en suite bathroom, while a beautifully appointed four-piece family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.
