Welcome to The Old Bakehouse, an exceptionally well-presented Grade II listed period home, enviably positioned in the heart of the highly regarded village of Belton.
Steeped in local history, this remarkable residence originally served as the village bakehouse, with origins dating back to the 19th century. In recent years, it has been thoughtfully and sympathetically modernised, blending heritage charm with refined contemporary finishes to create a timeless yet stylish family home.
Approached via a charming streetscape, the attractive double-fronted red-brick façade creates a handsome first impression befitting its historic roots.
Inside, a generously proportioned family living room welcomes you, centred around a stunning feature fireplace. Beautiful oak herringbone flooring flows through to the impressive open-plan breakfast kitchen.
The kitchen is both stylish and functional, offering shaker-style cabinetry, sleek work surfaces, and integrated appliances. A recessed hearth with a log burner style gas stove adds warmth and character. A guest cloakroom and direct access to the rear courtyard enhance practicality and indoor-outdoor living.
To the rear, a versatile reception room, ideal as a formal dining room or second sitting room, features exposed timber beams and a log burner, giving a cosy ambience, with stairs rising to the first floor.
Upstairs are three spacious double bedrooms and a beautifully refitted bathroom with a claw-foot bath, bespoke vanity unit, WC, and mosaic tiled flooring.
Externally, a gated shared driveway and courtyard provide access to the original bakehouse and one neighbouring property. The outbuilding retains the original oven beneath a traditional Swithland slate roof. The private rear garden offers block-paved parking, a patio, manicured lawns, established planting, and wisteria adorning the bakehouse façade.
