4 Bed Maisonette, Hoxton Road, TQ1

Large, spacious Maisonette with 2 reception rooms, 4 bedrooms and off-street parking

The Victorian era is famous for solidly built houses with spacious rooms - this maisonette is a good example. Most importantly it is a warm house with the whole side of the house facing south and getting light and warmth into the property. As well as off-street parking for up to 2 cars and a small garden, this property is on a bus route with frequent services to Torquay harbour and town centre and Paignton in one direction and St Marychurch and Torbay Hospital and Teignmouth in the opposite direction. It is about a 15 minute walk to the town centre and harbour.

Outside:
1. Off-street parking for up to 2 cars in a private car park to the rear of the house. 
2. Outside space/garden: The maisonette comes with a small area of garden next to the house which is fenced off for some privacy and can be used as a garden or for growing flowers or vegetables or soft fruit or even just flopping out in a deck chair in good summer weather and getting some rays (but not too many, don't forget the sun cream!).
3. Front garden: There is a garden to the front of the house which is slightly below street level and has been a riot of colour in the summertime in the years that the maisonette has been home for our out-going tenants. We hope that our new tenants will also be keen gardeners!

For information: Below this maisonette there is a Garden Flat at the lower ground floor level - this is a separate tenanted property owned by the same landlords as the maisonette. 

Note re decorations etc: This  is in medium to good decorative condition (kitchen and bathroom are very good) and is offered at the rental level indicated "as is" at well below the market level which would apply for a freshly redecorated house and offers incoming tenants an opportunity to save on rent and, over time, to apply their diy skills if they have them to decorate according to their taste (subject to agreement with landlords on colours etc). An alternative option of complete redecoration is possible but the full market rent of £1400 to £1500 would apply and move-in date would be about one month later. The choice is yours!

Please note that we are looking for long term tenants - certainly a couple of years and hopefully much longer. 
All tenants will have to pass comprehensive Referencing for the tenancy to go ahead. The combined annual income of the tenants needs to be at least 30 times the monthly rent. Benefits will not be counted as income by the Referencing Agency. If one of several tenants fail Referencing, the tenancy will not be able to proceed unless there is a Guarantor, who will also have to pass Referencing.

Other information:
Council Tax - Band B
EPC = D. Floor area according to EPC = 136 square metres (1464 square feet)
Gas powered central heating and hot water (Worcester Bosch Condensing combi boiler - high efficiency)
Gas and electricity supply is currently with Octopus Energy.
Water: This property does not have a water meter but water and sewerage services are paid for by an annual charge by South West Water.

Pets: We allow one cat or a small, well-behaved dog provided it is not a barker or yappy or left on its own for long periods in the property whilst the tenants are all out.

No fees are payable by tenants in respect of referencing or making the tenancy (these fees are paid by the Landlords). A holding deposit is paid by the tenant to Open Rent but in due course this becomes part of the main deposit and so is not a charge to the tenant except in limited circumstances where the tenant changes their mind.

The Landlords of this property are members of the Devon Landlords Association and conform with the Association's ethical and good practice advice.
