New Homes For Rent In Dunblane

New Homes For Rent In Dunblane

We recently marked the completion of our unique housing development at Thomas Brittain Court, Dunblane.

The 8 homes, which are all available for social renting, were built without any public subsidy, thanks to a former resident of the town. Thomas Brittain died in Dunblane in 1963 and left his estate to be used for the benefit of the elderly and infirm of the town. By working with a group of local residents we co-ordinated a development that provides 2 wheelchair accessible homes and 6 other flats, suitable for those with restricted mobility or other needs.

We supplemented the trust funds with a private loan and 8 households are now enjoying the fruits of Thomas Brittain’s generosity. Margaret Turner, Chairperson of Forth, said at the official opening: “it gives me added pleasure that I can mark the completion of these homes, not only as Chair of Forth but as a present day resident of Dunblane. Many members of the town worked hard to bring this scheme to completion and the end result represents over 50 years of local commitment.”
