Almshouses' future use

A parishioner has enquired about whether the Hartwell almshouses, currently for sale could be a put to a community use rather than simply sold as a  private house. I have replied:

"The Hartwell Charity (of which I am a trustee) must ensure that the highest price is achieved so that it can be ploughed into future, fit for purpose homes for older people in Cranfield.  I would love to see a more community-oriented use but any consortium would need a real prospect of money and a good business plan to make that happen, and fairly soon."
