Milton Abbas Almshouse

Welcome to the web site of the Tregonwell Almshouse Trust.  The Almshouses and the village within which they are located, Milton Abbas, have a fascinating history, a brief synopsis of which you can find on the History page of this site.  The Almshouses are perfectly positioned right in the heart of our beautiful village.  You will often see our residents on the front lawn enjoying the view (and sun when it appears!) always willing to chat to visitors walking through the village, about our history and heritage.

​

The Almshouses provide for four Residents homes, which normally home a single person but can also accommodate a couple.  The Almshouse also incorporates a community space for the village, which is known as the Reading Room.  This provides space which can be hired out for local clubs, meetings, events etc and incorporates a modern  fully equipped kitchen, together with toilets and storage facilities for local clubs

​

 

​

Each home provides a living room, kitchen, bedroom and walk in shower room.  The houses were extensively modernised in 2007 and brought fully up to date including pressurised hot water systems, secondary double glazing and a heat recovery system throughout.  Heating is provided through Economy 7 Storage heaters, as well as additional fan heaters in the shower rooms.

​

The Tregonwell Almshouse Trust is a member of the Almshouse Association as well as the Housing Ombudsman.

​

This web site is designed for a number of audiences.  Most importantly of course for our Residents who can link to their private section which includes details of all our policies as well as the Resident's Handbook.There is also a Trustees section which  contains general running Almshouse management information for our Trustees as well as meeting agendas and minutes, contractor and organisational contacts, finances and budgets etc.  We also hope that the site provides general visitors with an interesting background to the Almshouses and highlights the work we do for our wonderful Residents.
