The former Gospel Hall (lot 4, guide price £90,000-£100,000) is located in the picturesque village of Denston, near Newmarket, and is understood to date from 1888, built on land that was originally owned by Greene King Brewery. The attractive detached building features timber elevations beneath a pitched roof and has potential for other uses, subject to planning. Inside, there is approx 83m² of space, including the main hall with vaulted ceiling, exposed timber trusses and dual aspect windows; a kitchen and pair of cloakrooms (with sinks only).

There are several residential renovation projects including a substantial semi-detached three-bedroom cottage in the popular village of Ickleton (lot 7), with a guide price of £295,000+, as well as a two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace property within a desirable Cambridge location, close to the vibrant Mill Road (lot 8, guide price £300,000+).
A former doctor’s surgery in the heart of the sought-after village of Steeple Bumpstead, offers a wonderful opportunity for either new residential dwellings, or to be retained for commercial use. The existing building incorporates a range of accommodation over two storeys, including cloakrooms, a waiting room, treatment tooms and offices. Planning permission has been granted for the demolition of the existing building and replacement with two semi-detached two storey houses, each with a dedicated driveway and gardens. It is set to go under the hammer for a guide of £150,000-£200,000 (lot 5).
