A family-owned property development company is building new affordable home schemes in Goonhavern and Trispen.

Cornish housebuilder Legacy Properties has partnered with Ocean Housing to deliver The Grange in Goonhavern and The Paddocks in Trispen.

The scheme at The Grange is the second and final phase of Legacy’s development.

Legacy will deliver 23 affordable homes as part of the 40-home scheme.

The homes will include a mix of one-bedroom apartments and two to four-bedroom houses, alongside two wheelchair-accessible bungalows, all available for affordable rent. The first affordable homes are expected to be handed over to Ocean Housing from spring 2027.

At The Paddocks in Trispen, Legacy will deliver 27 affordable homes within the wider 80-home development. These will include a mix of one to four-bedroom houses, bungalows and apartments, available for social rent and shared ownership. The first affordable homes at Trispen are expected from spring 2027.

Nick Long, managing director at Legacy Properties, said: “Delivering affordable homes is a fundamental part of creating balanced, sustainable communities.

“Partnering with Ocean Housing at both Goonhavern and Trispen ensures these homes will be genuinely affordable and managed by an organisation with strong local knowledge and a long-term commitment to Cornwall.

“We’re proud to be working together to support local people through these developments.”

Jitinder Takhar, chief executive of Ocean Housing said: “Cornwall has seen a significant rise in the numbers of individuals and families needing affordable housing.

“High demand and limited housing choices has seen many more individuals and families with children faced with the possibility of being homeless or living in temporary accommodation.

“That’s why we’re really pleased to be partnering with Legacy Properties to bring affordable homes to Goonhavern and Trispen.

“These developments will provide much-needed permanent homes that give local people more choice and allow them to stay close to the places and communities that matter to them.”
