Following a significant refurbishment, the Trustees of the Eure and Smale Charity supported by Oswestry Town Council are advertising a vacancy at 10 Smales Cottages off Arundel Road in Oswestry.

The cottage is one of 10 one-bedroom almshouses which are suitable for single residents. Accommodation comprises a small living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom with shower, and small garden. Residents also have access to a communal washing machine. The cottage is unfurnished and the weekly management charge is £113.

To live at the almshouse cottage, applicants must meet the charity’s objectives to house “needy persons” of good character who have lived in the Town of Oswestry for not less than one year before applying.

The charity anticipates that the refurbishment work will be completed by the first week of September.

If you are unsure if you meet the eligibility criteria, would like more information or an application form, please contact Oswestry Town Council on telephone 01691 680222, email enquiries@oswestry-tc.gov.uk or in person at The Guildhall. The closing date for applications is 16 August 2024.
