New Road, South Molton, Devon, EX36

Mole Crest is a unique chalet bungalow originally constructed in the 1950s, situated in a prime location on the town's outskirts. In recent years, it has undergone extensive renovation and remodelling by the current owners, transforming it into a spacious family home with four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The property boasts a stunning kitchen/dining room, a generous living room, and a double garage, all set on over half an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds.

Mole Crest is a truly distinctive property that must be seen to fully appreciate its exceptional quality. Meticulously updated by the current owners, it presents a rare opportunity to acquire a one-of-a-kind, move-in-ready home.

A pair of iron gates opens onto a sweeping driveway that overlooks the beautiful front gardens, bordered with vibrant flowers and shrubs. The driveway extends to a large parking area and a double garage.

Stone steps lead up to the front door, which is framed by a terrace with an open porch supported by two pillars. Upon entering, you’re greeted by a bright, spacious galleried hallway with a striking oak staircase and engineered oak flooring that spans all the ground-floor reception rooms. Doors lead off to each of the ground-floor spaces.

The well-appointed kitchen/dining room features high-quality cabinetry with granite countertops, a central island, an integrated eye-level oven, electric hob, and dishwasher, along with a three oven Aga set within a chimney breast. The large dining area has ample space for a table and chairs, and double doors open to a covered outdoor seating area. From the kitchen there is also a spacious utility/boot room that has a door to the rear garden alongside fitted cupboards with space and plumbing for white goods.

The living room at Mole Crest is truly spectacular, highlighted by six-panel bifold doors that offer stunning views of the rear garden and seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living. One end of the room features a curved bay window and a cozy fireplace with a wood-burning stove, while the other end is set up as a reading nook with views of the garden through the bifold doors. This space is perfect for family gatherings.

Also on the ground floor is a spacious office, which could easily serve a variety of functions depending on the buyer’s needs. Additionally, there is a large double bedroom with a curved bay window and fitted storage. Adjacent to this room is a modern shower room with a shower, WC, and washbasin.

Upstairs, there are three generously-sized double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Bedrooms one and two feature premium "Cabrolet Windows" that open to reveal views of the surrounding green fields, and both rooms have built-in storage. Bedroom one’s bathroom includes a bath with a shower, a WC, and a washbasin, while bedroom two has an ensuite shower room. Bedroom three, the largest, offers plenty of space for a seating and dressing area, plus a further ensuite shower room. All ensuites have been fitted to a very high quality.

The grounds are just as impressive, spanning approximately 0.65 acres, with expansive lawns surrounded by well-kept flower beds, shrubs and trees including a shady wooded area. A large level terrace wraps around the front and side of the property, enclosed by iron railings and stone pillars, providing panoramic views of the gardens and distant fields. Additional features include a charming summer house, a vegetable patch, and an abundance of flowers—a gardener's paradise! The covered seating area off the kitchen is a continuation of the terrace and is perfect for enjoying the outdoors year-round.

To the right of the property, you'll find a large double garage with electric roller doors and a rear access door. The garage is fitted with solar panels that power the home and include a battery storage system. Joined to the garage are two useful workshop/storage areas, as well as a convenient outdoor WC.
