The Earl of Southampton Trust provides housing for people in need and currently resident in the Ancient Parish of Titchfield. As shown on the map, the areas covered are:
- Sarisbury and Whiteley (parish of St Paul’s)
- Titchfield (parish of St Peter’s)
- Locks Heath (parish of St John’s)
- Warsash (parish of St Mary’s)
- Stubbington (parish of Holyrood)
- Lee on the Solent (parish of St Faith’s)
The Trust currently owns 8 two-bedroom houses, 9 one-bedroom houses and 2 three-bedroom houses in Titchfield village. Five of these properties are for older people only. When one of these properties becomes available it is advertised around the Ancient Parish.
Some houses are allocated only to persons over 55 years of age.
How to apply
Applications can only be made when a house becomes available. Vacancies will be posted to this website and around the area as and when they occur.
The Trust does not keep a waiting list for housing applications as, each time a vacancy occurs, the applicants considered by the trustees to be the most in need at that time will be offered the property. The decision is based on a set of criteria which takes a number of factors into consideration, not just financial ones.
An application form can be downloaded from this page (below). It must be completed and sent to info@eost.org.uk
Applications are welcomed from those on Housing Benefit as well as those who have the means to pay.
Vacancies
A Two Bedroom Almshouse in Titchfield is available for person(s) in need who are currently resident in the ‘Ancient Parish of Titchfield’ which includes Titchfield, Stubbington, Locks Heath, Lee-on-the-Solent, Warsash, Sarisbury Green & Whiteley.
The accommodation has recently undergone a refurbishment and will likely be ready for occupation from January 2025 and is subject to an interview by the Trustees to ensure that the applicant’s circumstances satisfy the terms of the Trust.
Like all our Almshouses, the property will be let under a licence agreement at an affordable rent, which for this property is £842.70 per month (subject to review in April 2025 and annually thereafter).
Please return completed application forms to Tracey Kenney at info@eost.org.uk by: 24th December 2024
