Residents receive keys to affordable new homes in Devon

A group of residents in Devon are set to enjoy spring in 28 new affordable homes thanks to our partnership with Chagford Community Land Trust (CLT).

Chagford CLT was formed in 2013 with the aim of providing affordable housing for local people.

Leanne Young, who collected her keys recently, said: “I’m really looking forward to living somewhere affordable that’s close to my parents and the friends I grew up with. Previously as a private renting tenant, I moved seven times in seven years so it’s going to be nice to have the long-term security of an affordable home.

“In Chagford it’s almost impossible to find properties that come with parking and a garden, and I will have both. As a keen gardener I’m looking forward to the spring when I’ll be able to get out in my lovely garden.”
