On the next corner, take the left turn into Old Beer Road. Follow the road towards Seaton Hole Beach. At the triangle just before the cafe, take a right and the entrance to The Glen will be found on the right hand side.
The Property:
The Glen is believed to have been built in the 19th Century and used as offices for the Royal Navy until the mid '90's when it was converted into 9 apartments. In the past year, another floor has been added to the property with 3 more apartments which has benefitted the building with a new pitched, tiled roof and water main among other cosmetic improvements to the communal areas and exterior redecoration. This impressive building sits in beautiful grounds of approximately 1 acre with seating areas and a stream running through. There is also a private car park at the end of a long, sweeping driveway for residents and their guests to the rear of the property.Apartment 3 has undergone a schedule of improvement works by the current owner including a refitted kitchen and bathroom to a very high standard and a new electric heating system with remote thermostat. This apartment must be viewed to appreciate the splendour and exceptional position of The Glen.
