Description
Lynway Court is an established AGE RESTRICTED DEVELOPMENT for those 60 years and over, with this particular FLAT occupying a top/second floor position. The principal room leads directly onto a private balcony overlooking the rear car park. 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 the development are the attractive communal garden which provides a pleasant space to relax, and parking facilities for residents and visitors (subject to availability).
Conveniently situated betwixt Torquay's town centre and St Marychurch, both within a mile distance and a regular bus service can be caught close by. 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.
