The almshouse land is situated in Gally Hill Road, Church Crookham, Fleet, Hampshire and forms part of the legacy made by Miss Isabella Cottrell in 1854.
The legacy made by Miss Cottrell was also used to build the original almshouse, which was demolished at the end of 1986 and replaced with a new building on the same site at a total cost of £415,847 including professional fees. The new building, called Cottrell Court, comprises 16 apartments with improved accommodation and was available for occupation from February 1988. The Housing Corporation have financed the majority of this project with a combination of a housing association loan of £98,434 secured by a mortgage on the land and building, and housing association grant of £316,195. The balance of £1,218 was provided by the charity’s own resources.
The Housing Corporation assigned the loan to Orchardbrook Limited on 26[th] March 1997.
