OWNER INSIGHT
"We have enjoyed living here in our lovely large apartment at Greenacres, right in the heart of Wellswood. We particularly enjoy looking out over the beautifully tended communal gardens, as well as the convenience of the close proximity of the local shops, amenities, pub, restaurant and café that Wellswood has to offer. The regular local bus is just a short walk away, taking you into Torquay and St Marychurch, both a 10 minute bus ride. There is plenty of parking here for both residents and visitors. We have found there to be a good sense of community within Greenacres, with a thriving residents association and well attended social gatherings."
