The Property
Step inside a home where history meets modern living. This substantial former bakery, dating from 1896, has been thoughtfully transformed into an exceptional family residence that celebrates its heritage while embracing contemporary comfort.
Arranged over three floors, the accommodation is generous and versatile. The ground floor welcomes you through an entrance porch into a hallway adorned with beautiful Art Nouveau tiling. The snug offers a peaceful retreat, while the sitting room is a wonderful space for relaxed family life.
