About South Devon Rural
South Devon Rural Housing Association is a registered provider of social housing.
Established in 1958 as Dartington Housing Association to provide estate housing for workers from the Dartington estate, it has evolved over the last 60 years into a strong, community-based organisation. We own and manage 400 social housing properties across Devon and Cornwall and also have a 25-bed residential care home in Dartington rated ‘Good’ by the CQC. We also have a development subsidiary – Rural Homes Ltd.
We have sound working links with local communities and an enviable reputation in South Devon for the quality of our housing and care services.
We see ourselves very much at the heart of our communities, offering a uniquely personal and caring service to our residents. Our role as a 'niche' provider enables us to get involved in housing activities that may not be of interest to others, often in partnership with local authorities.
