This Edwardian double fronted house was originally the village bakery. Mr. Goodland, the baker, delivered his bread and cakes to customers in Chilbolton and surrounding villages until 1947. The Laurels was one of the first houses on Station Road. It was built in 1908 on three plots of land bought for £5.00 each. Trisha Knight and her family have recently been granted permission to change the name of the house to “The Old Bakery.”
