Friday, April 7, 2017 47 Property FOCUS www.latesthomes.co.uk Contemporary living at its best


NESTLED amongst the most beautifully planted sub-tropical garden is Brooke 21 Fosse Road. The bones of the house are 1930s but it has undergone a total transformation into a modern, light, spacious hi- tech home.


The entrance hall gives you a sneak preview of what awaits in this special home, with open plan stairs and a spacious feel. The sitting room is flooded with light, with floor to ceiling


windows on 3 sides and an atrium-style roof light. The family room is currently used as a media room complete with data projector and pull down screen. The kitchen/dining room is again light and spacious with a contemporary feel and fully integrated appliances. A large well appointed utility area and cloakroom completes the downstairs. The upstairs has been re-designed by the current owners, boasting a large master bedroom with separate his and her dressing rooms and a laundry area with an additional second double bedroom.


Outside the gardens are a particular delight, offering privacy and seclusion, having been very cleverly planted into separate rooms. There is an extensive range of sub-tropical plants including established tree ferns, phormiums, varieties of palm trees, agaves, acers and bananas complemented by a summerhouse and double garage. A large decked area provides the perfect location to sit and watch the sun go down of an evening. Olivia Beaumont, Sales Negotiator in Kingsbridge said “Brooke 21 Fosse Road is a fabulous property surrounded by exquisite gardens offering privacy. The house is modern and contemporary, offering the best of both worlds, close to town yet being on the edge of Kingsbridge”.


Brooke 21 Fosse Road is offered for sale at £575,000. For further information, please contact Marchand Petit’s Kingsbridge office on 01548 857588. Alternatively visit the website at www.marchandpetit.co.uk

New penalties for rogue landlords


THE GOVERNMENT have recently confirmed that new measures to crack down on rogue landlords will come into force on the 6th April 2017. The new measures include powers to prosecute and impose significant fines or issue civil notices with penalties of up to £30,000. Andrew Luxton MRICS FARLA, Partner in charge of Stags Residential Lettings Department confirms that whilst measures should be welcomed to help exclude rogue landlords from the private rented sector and generally improve the standard of private rented accommodation, the responsibility to enforce this falls upon local authorities who are often struggling to find the adequate resources. However, one positive is that the income raised from these penalties will be ring fenced for further enforcement activity.


Andrew Luxton confirms that over recent years there has been a string of legislation and compliance matters that landlords need to be aware of when letting out residential property and it is vital that they seek the appropriate advice in order to ensure that they do comply and do not run the risk of being fined in any way. Our network of offices


throughout the South West have dedicated


lettings staff who are more than happy to advise on any matter in connection with the letting of your property. For further details and contact information visit our website stags.co.uk
