About South Molton
South Molton is a proper market town that stands on its own. You've got a supermarket, pharmacy, sports centre and swimming pool all here, plus a hospital — which is genuinely rare for a town this size. House prices are noticeably cheaper than nearby villages like Chittlehampton and North Molton, so your money stretches further. Rents are below the national average too.
Crime dropped sharply through 2026 and now sits in line with South West averages. Air quality is among the best in the country.
The A361 gives you decent road access to Barnstaple and Tiverton. You'll need a car though — bus services are limited and there's no train station.
