About North Molton
North Molton sits on Exmoor's edge, offering a genuinely quiet, low-crime rural lifestyle. Crime rates here run well below the national average, and the air quality is noticeably clean — even by countryside standards.
House prices are mid-range for Devon, with terraced homes doing particularly well. The local schools are strong: there's an Outstanding-rated special school and two Good-rated primaries.
Five pubs keep the community ticking over, though everyday amenities are limited. You'll need a car for shopping, healthcare, and getting to work, but the A361 puts Barnstaple and Tiverton within reasonable reach.
A lot of residents work from home here, which suits the pace of the place. Rents are cheaper than you'll find just over the border in Somerset, making this a solid choice if you're after space, peace and quiet, and good value — rather than being close to town life.
