There are some wonderful historic residential refurbishment and development opportunities being offered for sale including a gothic style Grade II Listed former Dispensary building dating back to 1865, located in the centre of Ely (Lot 6). The freehold property is full of character and offers development potential, subject to planning. In the village of Lode, there’s the rare chance to purchase a substantial former Baptist chapel constructed in 1832 (Lot 9); these beautiful buildings often appeal to a range of buyers, with a wide variety of uses in mind. The Grade II Listed chapel includes a gross internal floor area of 153m² (excluding a mezzanine area) and generous external space. It is set to go under the hammer at a guide of £150,000 to £200,000.

Another characterful property ripe for renovation is a Grade II Listed cottage (Lot 10 - pictured below) occupying a generous plot in the centre of the desirable Huntingdonshire village of Abbotsley. The quaint two-double bedroom timber-frame cottage has a recently renewed thatched roof, and there is also a detached timber barn within the grounds which may offer potential for other uses. Its guide price is £75,000.

Ian Kitson, Director at Cheffins, comments: “There’s a broad array of opportunities in our forthcoming auction – whether an owner/occupier looking for a project, a commercial investor or farmer looking for additional land. Buyers are always intrigued by interesting or quirky opportunities and the catalogue contains some really exciting options, covering a wide range of budgets.  We anticipate a busy auction room, both in person and online, as buyers increasingly turn to auction for its convenience and to avoid the often lengthy private treaty conveyance timings.”
