Description
A Beautifully Extended & Bespoke Village Home with Exceptional Views
Positioned in a picturesque semi-rural setting, this outstanding village residence occupies an enviable plot of around half an acre. Carefully extended and extensively upgraded by the current owners, the property has been transformed into a truly bespoke family home. Offering elegant and contemporary interiors filled with natural light, it enjoys uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside and combines modern convenience with timeless appeal.
With approximately 2,500 square feet of accommodation, the home offers a superb balance of formal and informal living space. It is ideal for growing or extended families, those working from home, and anyone seeking a stylish yet practical village lifestyle with outstanding indoor and outdoor entertaining potential.
A recessed entrance porch with a traditional coach lamp leads to a solid hardwood front door and into a welcoming reception hall. Terracotta tiled floors, recessed lighting, and a feature staircase set the tone for the rest of the house. A guest cloakroom with a high-level WC, oak flooring and coat storage is located just off the hall.
The dual-aspect sitting room is generously proportioned and features a striking brick inglenook fireplace with oak bressummer and a wood-burning stove. French doors open onto a private garden terrace, while a cosy study/snug area offers a peaceful spot to work or relax.
To the other side of the hall, a versatile family room or home office features oak flooring, recessed lighting, and built-in storage, making it ideal for multiple uses.
At the rear of the house, the open-plan kitchen, dining and garden room forms the heart of the home. This stunning space is designed to take full advantage of the garden and surrounding views, with bi-fold doors opening onto a large deck and Indian sandstone terrace. A vaulted ceiling with Velux windows enhances the sense of light and space, while travertine flooring runs throughout.
The kitchen itself is fitted with bespoke cabinetry, leathered granite worktops and high-quality appliances including an electric AGA and integrated hob. A central island with breakfast bar, Butler sink and additional storage is illuminated by pendant lighting and provides a sociable space for family life and entertaining.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a large boot room, exposed brickwork and access to both front and rear gardens. This practical area is perfect for country living, with ample space for storage, coats, boots and pets.
Upstairs, a generous galleried landing leads to four double bedrooms, each with built-in storage. The principal suite is a standout feature, offering a spacious bedroom, a separate dressing room with fitted wardrobes, and a luxurious en suite shower room.
The second bedroom is ideally suited for guests, with its own built-in storage and access to a beautifully appointed bathroom, which is also accessible from the landing. The remaining two bedrooms are also well-proportioned and served by a stylish family bathroom with both a freestanding bath and a separate double shower.
The detached double garage offers excellent storage and utility space, with lighting and power. The surrounding gardens are mature, private and beautifully maintained, with large lawned areas, established planting, and plenty of space for entertaining or relaxing outdoors.

Vendor Interview
This striking, spacious, family home enjoys an incredible setting within the beautiful, rural, village of Molesworth which has been designated as a conservation area. A qualitative, individually designed, 'Potton' property which has been inspirationally extended and enhanced by its present owners, and which has been their much loved family home for the past fourteen years.
Having lived in the village for twenty-four years, the owners were looking for a larger family home. However, because of the special location of the village, with its beautiful surroundings, its caring village atmosphere, alongside its access to a wealth of outstanding amenities, especially those essential for business travel, they wished to stay local. Discovering Bridge House was ideal, alongside its setting within the village, plus its garden was perfect for their young family. Since coming to live here, the owners have cleverly extended and enhanced their house to offer a spacious home full of innovation, practicality and flexibility, perfect for a growing family with individual hobbies and pastimes.
On entering into welcoming hallway there is an immediate impact of space and brightness which continues throughout the house, alongside its flexible layout which has been perfect for home working and other aspects of a busy family. The welcoming reception room features an impressive fireplace, and this room is very much a family favourite on cold winter nights when the wood burner is aglow. Day to day life takes place in the large kitchen/dining/living room; very much the heart of this special home and is where everyone gathers. With its bi-fold doors opening out onto the patio, it presents the very best for indoor/outdoor living. The family love to entertain and this room, combined with its access into the garden, is perfect for such occasions.
The private, tranquil, garden has matured beautifully throughout the years, one special feature being its extensive entertaining space. The owners have given as much love and care to their garden as to the main house which is reflected in its variety and style. Its space has enabled marquees to be erected for special occasions, but it is very much a garden in which to totally relax
Molesworth village is very welcoming with many interesting events taking place throughout the year. Beautifully tucked away but with easy access to an outstanding range of amenities including the community 'Tiger' bus which provides access to nearby locations. Huntingdon and St Neots railway stations offer excellent services into the capital and beyond whilst the newly upgraded A14 has improved connectivity immensely.
It is now time for the next adventure in the lives of the owners who have loved every second of life in this extraordinary village and know that whoever decides to live here will experience an exceptional quality of life.
