New supported housing takes shape in Market Rasen

Significant progress is being made on a new housing project that will offer supported living to working age adults with disabilities.

Grange House in Market Rasen will offer 10 apartments with access to 24-hour care and support, as well as a range of communal areas where tenants can meet with families and friends and enjoy group activities.

In addition, there will be a community-focused social enterprise, offering an opportunity to learn new skills through growing produce and caring for animals.

The project is a collaboration between Acis Group, Lincolnshire County Council and West Lindsey District Council, made possible by additional funding from Homes England. The development is expected to be completed by spring 2026.

Greg Bacon, CEO of Acis Group, said: “We are incredibly proud to be bringing this development to Market Rasen, investing £3.9 million to give this stunning Grade II listed building and its associated stable block a new purpose that aligns perfectly with our vision for supporting communities when they need us.

“This project reflects our long-term commitment to the town and the people who live here, ensuring they have access to high-quality, supported housing that enables them to live independent and fulfilling lives.”

Cllr Stephen Bunney, ward member for the Market Rasen area in West Lindsey, said: “I’m delighted to see work progressing on this much-needed supported housing development in Market Rasen. This project will provide invaluable opportunities for individuals to live independently while remaining connected to their community.

“The inclusion of communal spaces and a community-focused social enterprise will bring real benefits, fostering a sense of belonging and purpose. I look forward to seeing the positive impact this development will have on local people.”

Lindum co-chair, Edward Chambers said: “Renovating an older building is always challenging, and Acis Group deserves real credit for its commitment to this restoration. Once complete, the project will not only provide an important facility for the community but will also breathe new life into a well-known local landmark, transforming it from a state of disrepair into a building that is fully restored and fit for purpose.”
