Vendor Insight This charming family home still shows character features from when it once was the village bakery. Steeped in history, the owners are sad to be leaving behind a home with such personality.

The owners were first attracted to The Old Bakery due to the size, location and multiple features that the property boasts. “The property has history - it was the home of the village baker. The village shop was located where the dining room is, with the village phone being there as well. Our favourite feature is the fireplace in the dining room, it takes you back to when cooking was done on the fire - it has a feature ‘cupboard’ to one side for keeping food warm which we still use! It was also made locally,” comments the owners.

If you enjoy entertaining, then The Old Bakery ticks all of the boxes. “The outside space is perfect for entertaining due to its size. We have had many parties, barbeques and children’s parties.

These have included large inflatable slides/bouncy castles/music bands. However, the kitchen is the heart of the property, friends and family gather here for a drink and chat while the kitchen fills with the aromas of cooking!” comment the owners.

Situated in the peaceful village of Farthinghoe means that the next owner can enjoy village life whilst still being connected to the wider surrounding towns. There are several local amenities, including a welcoming pub, village hall and small shop. The Old Bakery is also conveniently located, with easy access to the M40 and the M1.

The local area has many walks, mountain biking, parachuting, golf courses, horse riding and fishing. There are also several National Trust properties nearby
