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).

Door into RECEPTION/STUDY with woodburning stove inset to exposed brick fireplace and stairs rising to first floor.
