Palm Grove Apartments are in the sought-after area of Meadfoot in Torquay. This is an elegant area characterised by the unique Victorian Villas built in the mid 1800s. The whole area is verdant and studded with these magnificent residences.

Palm Grove Apartments sits on Meadfoot Sea Road which runs from the centre of Torquay down to Meadfoot Beach, past the magnificent Hesketh (formally Meadfoot) Crescent. Local architects and builders, John Tapley Harvey and William Harvey, built Meadfoot Crescent which was commissioned in 1846. The Crescent is based on the Regency ideals of London and Brighton it later became Hesketh Crescent, after the birth of the first son to Maria Palk, daughter of Lord and Lady Hesketh and wife of Lawrence Palk. Robert Palk bought much of this part of Torquay on his return from India, but it was his son, Lawrence who inherited the estates who became the town's first speculative developer. He started selling plots on 99-year leases to the wealthy. So affluent were these new owners that not one building was erected without its own stables and coach house.

The villa associated with Palm Grove Apartments is one of the most beautiful and elegant of the Victorian Torquay Villas with its individual design. It was originally commissioned for a family home and was completed in 1857 and later converted into a hotel. It is believed to have been built by John Tapley Harvey and William Harvey.
