Full description
Bakehouse and outbuilding north of the house at Pirton Grange [11187] backing onto the moat [1927] and facing south. The outbuilding is the taller, and dates to the early 17th century, a two-storey two-bay timber-framed structure on a high brick sill with red brick infill. It has a stair up to the cheese store on the upper floor, and three steps down into a semi-basement in the west bay, with shelving and dairy equipment. The bakehouse was attached to the east side of the older building in the 18th century. It is a much narrower single-storey building in red brick chequered with darker headers, and has a large oven at the rear of the east end fireplace <1>. Both buildings have steep old red tile roofs. They are linked to the house by a covered way.
