Tenants moved into four new affordable flats in the centre of Grayshott over the weekend.

Grayshott & District Housing Association are celebrating the completion of the first four flats in their largest affordable housing building project to date. After years of planning these flats have their first occupants on their site at Crossways Road in the centre of the village. Glenn Blake, Chairman of the Development Committee is seen here handing over the keys to two of the tenants.


Fourteen one- and two-bedroom flats with allocated parking and communal gardens are being built on land that the Grayshott & District Housing Association (G&DHA) owns. The flats are for rent to people with a strong local connection through living or working locally and have a low income. They have been designed to fit in with the nearby village Conservation Area. At over £2 million this project marks the largest investment made in the village for the community in a very long time.


G&DHA is a small local charity run by volunteers with skills linked to housing management, supported by a part time administrator.


“We are so pleased to be completing some of the flats after all the challenges of the pandemic when the site had to be closed for a while, and then a national shortage of some materials” said Teresa Jamieson, Chairman of Grayshott & District Housing Association. “These first flats are for re-housing some of our existing tenants as they move from Western Lodge, a building due for demolition. The next six flats should be completed early in 2021 and we will be offering those to people in housing need on our waiting list. The final four flats are due to be ready over summer 2021.”
