Paignton : Oldway Mansion
Paignton Urban District Council purchased Oldway Mansion from the Singer family in 1946 for the sum of £45,000. It is estimated that around £200,000 was spent on building the mansion. Today the building is used mainly as council offices and for civil marriage ceremonies.

Paignton : Oldway Mansion Gardens
Oldway Mansion is set in 17 acres (69,000 m2) of gardens, which are laid out on an Italian theme by the French landscape gardener Achille Duchesne. Beneath the eastern elevation of the building is the maze, which consists of dwarf box hedging and flower beds. To the south of the mansion there is the grotto garden where a waterfall passes over a rocky cave into a pool below. The grounds of the mansion contain many sub-tropical plants and shrubs.

Paignton : Oldway Mansion

Square tower, Oldway Mansion, Paignton
The lower floor of this interesting tower is clearly disused and possibly derelict. It does seem strange that the Council allows the building to slowly decay.
