Accommodation
The Whiteley Homes Trust currently have various accommodation options available.
At the heart of Whiteley Village, set out in an
octagon around the monument to our founder, are our 262 one and two-bedroom
almshouse cottages, suitable for single people and couples.
Their central location means that all are in easy
reach of the multiple facilities, services, and social opportunities that our
Village has to offer. The cottages are intended for those who are able to live
independently. However, as residents’ needs change, our Support Team and Care
at Home Teams we can offer care and support. This will enable them to remain in
their home for as long as they are able and wish to.
Cottages are offered on an unfurnished basis and feature the following:
• Lounge (some of the larger cottages also have a dining area)
• Kitchen, including integrated oven & hob
• Shower and toilet
• Central heating and smoke alarms
• *A selection of cottages contain an oak dresser and other period features
* The dressers were originally made for each cottage on the instruction of William Whiteley. The oak wood was from the felled trees during the construction of the Village.
• The majority have a small garden area. (The size of this varies dependant on the property)
• * A TV aerial and phone point
* Residents are responsible for arranging their own services and managing their contracts with providers.
The Village has a Property and Estates Team who can assist with
maintenance and repairs.
In addition there is an out of hours emergency call-out service for emergency
repairs and welfare support.
Criteria
- Age: Male of not less than 65
years and female of not less than 60 years, as stated in the Will of William
Whiteley.
- Capital Asset Limit: Capital
assets do not exceed £30,000 per person (£60,000 asset limit for couples).
