The principal room leads directly onto a private balcony overlooking the gardens and taking full advantage of the view. Lynway Court is admirably suited to those seeking the peace of mind and benefits of the age restriction, a house manager, and emergency call system. Particular attributes of Lynway Court are the attractive communal garden which provides a pleasant space to relax, and parking facilities for residents and visitors (subject to availability).
Lynway Court is conveniently situated betwixt Torquay's town centre and St Marychurch, both within a mile distance and a regular bus service can be caught close to the development. Amenities at Plainmoor are also easily accessible where a Lidl supermarket can be found, and in the opposite direction is Southover Health Centre and public swimming pool, all within reasonable walking distance.

Seller's Insight
"My Dad bought the flat back in 2008, and for sixteen years it has been a wonderful home for him. The sunny orientation and open views always brought a little cheer and brightness, and there was usually something for him to see from the balcony, or simply sit, relax, and enjoy the views.
Lynway Court gave us comfort knowing Dad was part of a welcoming and friendly development, with a lovely house manager on hand and likeminded people."
