When Read Maurice were contacted to handle the sale of a property in Norwich Drive, Cheltenham on behalf of the executors of an Estate they were informed that this would be the first time the property will have been available on the local market since it was built in the mid 1950’s.
Jason Maurice Director of Read Maurice explained “When you are entrusted to sell part of the family estate for the beneficiaries, we make sure we take time to get as much history as we can about the property. When my client mentioned that he had a photograph of his late Mother standing on the actual plot before anything was built, we couldn’t believe our luck. The picture shows her standing in the exact spot from where the property would stand, with foundations just braking through.”
The picture was taken in the late Summer of 1954 before developers J A Pye Limited completed the original 2-bedroom detached bungalow in the area which would become known as Warden Hill in Hatherley.
Mr Maurice added; “The family had remained in the same property for very nearly 70 years and it’s time for a new owner. Although it will require updating and upgrading it will hopefully be home to a new owner for many years to come.”
The property is being sold by Read Maurice who are retained by many Private Client Solicitors to assist with the sale of properties currently in probate. For further details contact the agents Read Maurice on 01242 241122. The property will be available at an initial guide price of £300,000.
