Seller Insight
When we first arrived at Mole End, we fell in love with the whole setting: the village of Molesworth, the sense of space and the sheer potential of the site. The house wasn’t in the best condition at the time, but we could immediately see what it could become and what it could offer as a home.

Since then, we have renovated every room, extending to both the rear and side to create a wonderfully generous layout that suits modern life.

The heart of the house is the open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, where we spend most of our time. It overlooks the garden and is filled with light all day long, making it perfect for cooking, eating, dancing, playing games, or simply relaxing together. For winter evenings, we love retreating to the separate lounge, particularly at Christmas with the fire lit, a festive movie on and a truly atmospheric sense of cosiness. Mole End has been an incredible home for entertaining, from large gatherings to children’s birthdays, pool parties, darts in the games room and relaxed evenings with friends.

Outside, the transformation has been just as dramatic. What was once an overgrown garden with a disused swimming pool is now a beautifully landscaped space, with the pool relined and multiple seating areas created for different moods and views. There is an orchard and beyond that, woodland at the end of the garden with paddocks and open fields stretching out behind. Muntjac deer, pheasants and squirrels are regular visitors.

Being on a no through-road with no streetlights in the village, the peace and the night skies above the property are exceptional, too. With easy access to the A14, village events at the hall, great local schools and endless dog walks across surrounding fields, Molesworth has offered everything we could want: space, nature, community and calm. Leaving Mole End will be a real wrench.
