Torquay's three theatre's, The Princess, Babbacombe and Little Theatre are also all within easy reach.

EPC Rating: D

Owner's Insight

"Glenside Court is a perfect development for those seeking the comforts of an age restricted development in a beautiful location. You can have a good social life within the block if you wish to participate in the regular coffee mornings, fish n chip evenings, and barbecues during the summer months.

It's a quiet flat with no immediate neighbours being on the corner, no one overlooking you, large windows with views over the sunny landscaped garden, and close to the lift and stairs so no need to walk down long corridors!"
