The Scheme is situated on the outskirts of the town in a conservation area, but within walking distance of the sea. Regular bus routes run past the scheme into the town which has a good selection of shops, theatres and cinemas. Like many seaside towns, it is a hive of activity during the summer months but left for the locals to enjoy in winter. The scheme is also within easy access of the surrounding beautiful countryside, Dartmoor and coastline.The Scheme has a resident Scheme Manager who is supported by a Deputy and other on-site staff. The accommodation, all of which is let unfurnished, comprises 14 self contained apartments within the main house, and 44 purpose built apartments in two blocks within the house grounds. A mixture of one and two-bedroom apartments and studios are available at Romaleyn Gardens. The accommodation, most of which overlooks the well stocked and mature gardens, is mainly accessible by lifts." Show less
