Are you dreaming of countryside living, but not quite ready to give up the convenience of village amenities on your doorstep? The Old Bakehouse in the heart of Terrington St John could be exactly what you’ve been waiting for, a characterful home that beautifully balances rural charm with everyday practicality.

Perfectly positioned within easy walking distance of the local school, doctor’s surgery, shops, pub and restaurant, this delightful two/three-bedroom cottage places almost everything you need within a short stroll. It’s village life at its very best: friendly, connected and convenient, while still offering that sought-after sense of escape from the hustle and bustle.

From the outside, the Old Bakehouse is full of charm, yet it’s only once inside that you truly appreciate just how much space this home offers. Deceptively generous, the layout flows effortlessly and adapts easily to modern living. The cosy living room instantly invites you to slow down and relax, light the wood-burning stove, settle into your favourite chair and enjoy the warmth and atmosphere that only a cottage like this can provide.

The kitchen/dining room is wonderfully proportioned and designed with entertaining in mind. Whether you’re hosting family gatherings, sharing meals with friends or enjoying long, relaxed weekends at home, this is a space where people naturally come together. To the rear of the property, a hallway leads to an additional and highly versatile room currently used as a double bedroom, complete with its own modern shower room. This flexible space works beautifully as a guest suite, ground-floor bedroom, home office or even a snug, ideal for multigenerational living or those seeking adaptability.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a real highlight. A stunning double that proudly showcases the home’s heritage, with exposed beams adding warmth, character and a sense of history. The second bedroom is a comfortable single, currently used as a home office, alongside a useful storage cupboard and a stylish family bathroom that completes the first floor.

Outside, the private courtyard-style garden is low maintenance and wonderfully secluded, the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind in the sunshine without the upkeep of a large garden. It’s a space designed for relaxation, not chores.

Attached to the side of the property is a substantial 29ft garage/workshop, offering exceptional versatility. Whether you need secure storage, off-road parking, a workshop or hobby space, this area delivers. For those with an eye to the future, it also presents exciting potential. Subject to the necessary planning permissions, it could be transformed into additional living accommodation, perhaps a large open-plan kitchen/dining/family room or an extra bedroom, the possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

This is more than just a charming cottage; it’s a piece of Terrington St John’s history. A home with a story to tell, offering you the rare opportunity to become part of the village’s past, present and future, and to write your very own chapter within its walls.
