The Old Bakery, Meynell Road, Quorn

Smiths Property Experts are favoured with instructions to market The Old Bakery, which is steeped in history and full of charm and character. Having once been the old bakery to Quorn Hall, with origins dating back to the early nineteenth century, previously owned by Hugo Meynell, and more recently having been a family home for over 50 years.

Believed to have previously been three cottages, this wonderful family home now offers approximately 1,619 square feet of spacious and flexibly arranged living space, with scope for general improvement or alteration. There are three spacious reception rooms, a ground-floor bedroom with an ensuite, three first-floor double bedrooms, a bathroom, and a lovely cottage garden with parking to the rear. This is a very rare opportunity to own a very special home close to the centre of Quorn.

This beautiful property retains many original features, including exposed beams, high ceilings, and an inglenook fireplace, and has been skilfully altered and adapted over the years. With benefits including gas central heating and partial hardwood framed double glazing, there are two front entrances, with the main entrance hallway opening into the sitting room. The sitting room has a grand inglenook fireplace and is a naturally light space, with doors opening to the garden room.

The kitchen boasts base and wall units and is conveniently positioned next to the formal dining room, which has parquet flooring, a feature electric fireplace and has the second front door, which opens onto Meynell Road. There is a useful lobby to the rear with plumbing for white goods, and a ground-floor bedroom offers versatile sleeping space, which has a wet room ensuite, and could easily be used as a fourth reception room.

The first-floor landing has a split-level staircase which leads to all bedrooms. There are three well-proportioned double bedrooms; the main bedroom enjoys a dual aspect, bedroom two has an enclosed shower cubicle, and the main bathroom has a three-piece suite and an airing cupboard.

A particular feature of the home is the fabulous outdoor space, with original blue pavers on the front pathway. The rear garden offers a private, tranquil space, with a south westerly facing orientation, making the most of the afternoon sun.

A hand-built brick patio terrace provides a space perfect for alfresco dining, with a shaped lawn, raised beds with a blend of fruit trees and shrubs, two timber garden sheds and a greenhouse. There is a gated driveway providing ample parking access off Revell Close to the rear.
