Cheffins’ first property auction of 2019 will see 20 regional lots offered on Wednesday March 13 at the firm’s salerooms in Cambridge. The auction will include a selection of unconverted barns, residential opportunities and woodland.
Among the most interesting lots is the former Methodist Chapel in Thurston, near Bury St Edmunds.
It dates back to 1872 and now offers scope for conversion for various uses.
It has a guide price of £30,000 to £40,000.
It could make an attractive village home, with some imagination and conversion expertise.
The chapel is built of brick and slate and sits centrally within its small plot, next to the road, with hedge and fence boundaries.
Meanwhile, in Ipswich, there is a modern office building for sale, which comes with planning permission for conversion into six separate two bedroom flats.
