​Budleigh Almshouses
Homes for Budleigh people

Affordable accommodation for older local people in need
OPENING IN 2026

Picture
The aim of almshouses has remained largely unchanged since Saxon times: to 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.

Find out what almshouses are, why we need them in Budleigh, how to apply, and how you can help the project thrive and grow here in Budleigh and its surrounding villages.

WHO LIVES IN ALMSHOUSES?

Picture
Residents are local older people in need. They don’t pay rent; they’re not tenants.  Instead they pay a contribution towards the upkeep of their almshouse, set at an affordable level below local rental values.
