Burneston almshouses to be refurbished for affordable housing
It has been reported in Hambleton Today, that work will get underway later this month on a scheme that will see historic buildings in a Hambleton village undergo a £640,000 refurbishment to create affordable homes for local people.
A partnership between local charity The Matthew Robinson Trust and Broadacres Housing Association will result in two almshouses built in 1680, along with a former schoolmasters’ house and school room, being remodelled into new, modern homes in Burneston.
It follows an approach from the Hambleton Rural Housing Enabler Amanda Madden, who is responsible for kick-starting new rural housing developments in local communities.
Burneston almshouses
Once completed later this year, the homes will be let to people with a connection to the village or surrounding area.
Broadacres is providing its professional services to support The Matthew Robinson Trust in realising its vision of restoring the buildings which are situated in the heart of the village.
This has included local consultation, submitting the necessary planning applications, making applications for funding, and choosing the contractor for the refurbishment.
Why not take an interactive tour of the almshouses both before the scheme was undertaken and the fantastic results follow. Use the links below:
