Okay, Chrissie, I've got to ask: What the heck is a "baking house"?
A baking house is a house where you bake in
.
On our property are four houses: main house, baking house, barn and a tiny one (only two rooms), which we call witch house. The main house is approx. 240 years old. In the past, the property has been a farm, a restaurant (well, think rather a tiny English pub than a real restaurant), a school, home for a group of district nurses - and a bakery. Not everything at once, obviously
.
The actual baking was not done in the main house, but in one of the other buildings: the baking house. The huge, professional oven is still in there. When we bought the property,
everything from the bakery was still in there: dough machine, the baker's shovels, the bread forms, and so on. We use the baking house for storage now.
Cheers!
