The Old Bakery, on the market with David Burr estate agents, is a Grade II* listed property believed to date back to the 16th century and later expanded during the 17th century.
The selling agent described it as “an exceptional example of period architecture”, with character features including timber framing and a jettied cross wing, exposed studwork, leaded light and mullion windows, a Tudor arched doorway with castellated door head, gabled dormers and a square chimney stack.
In total, the accommodation exceeds 3,300 sq ft and includes three reception rooms and five bedrooms.
“The property has been comprehensively refurbished throughout by highly regarded local craftsmen with the internal layout reimagined to create a substantial and practical family home,” David Burr added.
From the entrance hall, doors lead to a sitting room to one side and a formal dining room to the other. Next to the latter is the main living space, a 26ft dual aspect drawing room with an inglenook fireplace and a rustic timber staircase.
At the rear of the property lies the 21ft kitchen/breakfast room, with a separate utility room and cloakroom access off an inner hallway.
The bespoke kitchen was handcrafted by Churchill Brothers of Leavenheath and includes underfloor heating, exposed timbers, a central island with storage and pendant lighting.
There is also ample space for a dining table and chairs and a door leading to the walled gardens.

The first floor provides an impressive master bedroom suite with a dressing room and an en-suite bathroom fitted with a modern bath and shower.
The remaining four bedrooms are located in a separate wing of the house, though they are still accessible from the master suite via a connecting landing.
One of these rooms also has an en suite and the others are served by a family bathroom with a bath, shower, wash basin and WC.
Outside, The Old Bakery has access to off-road gated parking. There are landscaped walled gardens to the rear which were carefully designed to create a “sun-drenched”, low maintenance terrace.
The village of Bures is known for its scenic surroundings and proximity to the River Stour, and includes amenities such as a primary school, village shop, public houses, church and village hall.
There is also a train station in the village with regular services to Sudbury and connecting routes to London.
