Step into a piece of history with this beautifully restored landmark heritage building, dating back to c.1873. Situated on a generous parcel of landscaped land, this prime location offers unbeatable highway frontage, directly opposite the Milton Court House.
Dating from 1873, this classic Victorian-era brick residence was built as a private home for William Rutter Hindmarsh, whose initials 'WRH' can be seen over the door. The building was later used as a telegraph office in 1876, and also as a bank, and by Dr Renwick as his surgery in the early 1900s. Most locals know it as 'Thompson's Bakery', which was from 1929 to 1975.
'The Old Bakery' has been expertly restored to a high standard, the property blends historic charm with modern convenience. Every room is equipped with up-to-date communication, security, and electrical services. The building features seven versatile professional rooms, perfectly suited for a range of business needs, alongside modern amenities including bathroom facilities and a kitchenette. Ideal as office space or a first-class restaurant with plumbing and grease trap already installed, with a commercial kitchen design available on request.
