Wadebridge, Cornwall

Set in an elevated position just moments from Wadebridge’s vibrant town centre, this magnificent Victorian townhouse, believed to date from 1897, offers a rare combination of period elegance, spacious accommodation, and modern comforts.

Spanning three generous storeys and boasting five double bedrooms, private parking for three vehicles (including space for a van), and a mature garden with productive fruit trees, 67 Molesworth Street presents a truly exceptional opportunity.

From the moment you step into the welcoming entrance, the character and attention to detail of this home are evident. An original stained-glass panel in the interior front door casts colourful light into the hall, complementing the original tiled flooring, bespoke internal doors, and grand central staircase. A convenient downstairs W.C. sits just off the hallway.

To the left, the formal reception room impresses with new parquet herringbone flooring, a large bay window, and a wood-burning stove nestled into a stylish fireplace. High ceilings and abundant natural light add to the sense of grandeur. Adjacent is a second, equally generous reception room with a matching bay window, cosy carpeted flooring, another fireplace with wood-burning stove, and elegant features including ceiling coving and a beautiful original ceiling rose—a more relaxed yet still refined space for everyday living.

At the rear of the property lies the expansive open-plan kitchen and dining room—once the original dairy kitchen, now thoughtfully opened up to create a sociable and functional heart to the home. The modern kitchen is a cook’s dream, offering built-in appliances, generous worktop space, and LED downlighting, all overlooking the mature rear garden. There is ample room for a large dining table, ideal for entertaining, and a wide doorway provides easy access to the garden, encouraging outdoor dining during warmer months. The room also features a third fireplace housing another wood-burning stove, blending charm and practicality. A dedicated utility room lies off the kitchen, housing the gas boiler, space for white goods, and additional storage.

Upstairs, the first floor unfolds from a beautifully lit landing featuring a striking stained-glass window, with three spacious double bedrooms, all complete with original fireplaces. Two front-facing rooms feature deep bay windows with fitted seating, offering far-reaching views across Wadebridge and glimpses of the Camel Estuary. A rear bedroom enjoys garden views and boasts a Juliet balcony—an elegant touch that adds a sense of light and openness. A stylish family bathroom completes this floor, with a bath, separate shower, W.C., and basin.

On the top floor, two further double bedrooms await. The master suite is particularly impressive, enjoying dormer windows with elevated views across the town, as well as deep built-in storage. The fifth bedroom, currently used as a guest room, includes loft access via a hatch, with the loft stretching the width of the house and fitted with a light—offering practical storage space. A further modern shower room with W.C. and basin serves this floor.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The mature rear garden is a private haven, featuring a sunny decking area, two charming summer houses, lush lawn, flower beds, and a productive raised bed planted with a variety of fruit trees and bushes. The driveway to the rear provides parking for three vehicles, a rare asset in such a central location. Solar Panels are included increasing the properties efficiency and desirablility. To the front, the elevated garden with pathway, feature pond, and mature planting gives the home a striking and welcoming presence above Molesworth Street.

Modern conveniences include gas central heating, mains utilities, and double-glazed windows throughout, providing excellent energy efficiency and sound insulation—particularly valuable given the central position.

Rich in history yet superbly suited to contemporary family life, this outstanding home offers period grandeur, generous living space, and a prime location just a short stroll from Wadebridge’s shops, cafés, schools and the Camel Trail.
