Budleigh Almshouses
Planning permission has been granted for three new-build almshouses in Budleigh on the site of the Gardener's Cottage next to Seachange.
The almshouses are being provided by The Shandford Trust charity through funds raised from the sale of Shandford residential home in 2022.
The aim of almshouses has remained largely unchanged since Saxon times and allow older people of limited means to remain living in their local area, thereby maintaining balanced, stable communities. This is particularly important in places like the West Country where house prices and rents have become unaffordable for so many.
The Budleigh almshouses will be ready at the start of 2026, offering affordable accommodation for older local people of limited means. Applicants must meet specific criteria and be couples or singles living in Budleigh Salterton, East Budleigh, Otterton, Colaton Raleigh or Bicton.
More details on how to apply or support the charity will be found on the Budleigh Almshouses website.
