Narracott Down is a delightful two-bedroom detached property sitting within the owner’s private grounds in South Molton, Devon. Ideal for a family or group of friends who wish to experience an eco-friendly retreat, the 30-acre grounds are a haven for a wide variety of native flora and fauna with a stream running through the length of the valley, feeding 9 pond lakes of varying sizes. Narracott Down was built in 2024 and has been sensitively designed, with natural and local materials. The open-plan living space benefits from natural lighting as well as the doors onto the covered veranda, creating a great social space to enjoy whatever the weather. As night falls choose from the ground floor king-size bedroom (which can be arranged as two 2ft 6in single beds on request) positioned next to the family bathroom, or the first-floor master bedroom with its super-king-size bed (which can be arranged as two 3ft single beds on request) and en-suite shower room. In addition, there is a sofa bed in the open-plan living space, providing flexibility for your party. Within easy reach is the market town of South Molton the 'gateway' to Exmoor National Park which has a wide range of amenities including shops, pubs, and restaurants.
