West Down Country House

West Down Country House is a welcoming retreat set in South Molton, Devon, offering ample off-road parking, far-reaching countryside views, and a multi-level garden complete with hot tub, cold plunge bath, and wood-fired sauna, making it ideal for large gatherings seeking a countryside escape.

Set across three storeys, the house unfolds into a generous and sociable space designed for time spent together.

The sitting room centres around a woodburning stove, creating a natural focal point for evenings gathered as a group, while the conservatory provides an alternative space to sit back and enjoy views across the surrounding landscape.

The kitchen and dining areas are well-suited to group dining, whether starting the day or closing it over shared meals, with separate spaces allowing flexibility throughout your stay.

The eight bedrooms are arranged across the house, offering a mix of room types to accommodate different group needs.

Several benefit from en-suite facilities, while additional bathrooms and cloakrooms help ensure ease during busy mornings.

The second-floor snug provides a quieter hideaway, perfect for taking a moment away from the main living spaces.

Outside, the multi-level garden is designed to make the most of your time together.

Gather around the pizza oven and barbecue for outdoor dining, or take time to move between the hot tub, cold plunge bath, and sauna as part of a relaxed routine.

With seating areas set across the garden, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the open setting and countryside outlook.

The traditional market town of South Molton is home to its historic award winning Pannier Market, held every Thursday and Saturday, where you can browse local produce, crafts and independent stalls.

Venture into Exmoor National Park for walks to Tarr Steps, views from Dunkery Beacon, or drives across open moorland.

Head to Barnstaple to discover Butcher’s Row, the award winning Pannier Market, and the Museum of Barnstaple and North Devon, while Dulverton offers access to the Exmoor National Park Centre, riverside walks along the Barle, and characterful streets.
