Properties for rent and Social Housing

The only social housing - and virtually the only rented property on the island - is owned by the council which has a small estate dating from the mid 1970's. It consists of seven three-bedroom houses, some of which are now privately owned. There are also two, two bedroom and six one-bedroom properties, originally let as sheltered accommodation, but now also available to general needs.
