Description
Situated in the heart of Brixham, perfectly positioned for all that the historic port town has to offer - from fantastic eateries to charming pubs, and independent shops aplenty! 22 Saxon Heights is a spacious two-bedroom, second floor apartment occupying a prime position in the seaward facing 'turret' of this well maintained purpose built apartment block. The property provides ample accommodation with a good size living room area, with elevated sea and town views from a private balcony, and an enviable parking space just by the main front entrance.
The accommodation enjoys the convenience of lift-access from the light-and-bright communal entrance hall. The front door opens into a long inner hallway leading off to all of the principal accommodation. There are two excellent size double bedrooms, the slightly larger main bedroom offers built in wardrobes with mirrored sliding doors and a pleasant, dual-aspect outlook, whilst Bedroom Two also enjoys a nice open outlook over the front, and some further built in storage. Through to the wonderful living room - with a feature dining area to the front, set in the 'turret' of the building, the room offers a super 'crows nest' aspect of Old Brixham in the foreground with some lovely views of the Breakwater and Torbay beyond. There is also a good size private balcony - adding the all-important outside space to the property. There is a modern, and good quality fitted kitchen just off, which also enjoys the views and can be either open, or closed to the living space. The property is serviced by a generously sized shower room which is in excellent condition, and an electric heating system, with UPVC double glazing throughout.
Outside, there is a private allocated parking space, which is conveniently located very close to the front entrance of the building with further spaces available for visitor parking, and a lovely communal garden to the rear, which is private to the residents of the development and is well maintained throughout the seasons.
The flat is leasehold, held on a 165 year lease from 1st May 1997. Ground rent £100 per annum. Maintenance charge £2868 per annum payable in two, six-monthly instalments. We are also pleased to offer the property to market with NO ONWARD CHAIN.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
