Two Thatched Cottages in Ickleton Set for Auction This Month

Two charming thatched cottages in need of renovation will be auctioned this month in a sale organized by Clive Emson Auctioneers. Located at 48-50 Abby Street in the picturesque village of Ickleton, these properties are part of a larger auction featuring 186 lots across southern England. The auction is set to conclude on October 30, 2023, with the cottages listed as a single lot and a freehold guide price of between £300,000 and £320,000.

The two-bedroom cottages, situated on a main road through the historic village, offer potential buyers a unique opportunity to invest in properties with exposed beams and vaulted ceilings. According to Gabby Geidraite, an auction appraiser at Clive Emson, these character cottages may require improvements but could transform into excellent homes or lucrative rental properties once renovations are complete.

Ickleton is conveniently located five miles north of Cambridge and nine miles south of Saffron Walden. The village provides easy access to the motorway, just a mile away, and has a mainline railway station at Great Chesterford, offering services to London Liverpool Street and Cambridge.

Bidding for this auction, which marks the sixth event of the year for Clive Emson Auctioneers, will open on October 28, 2023, and will run until the end of the day on October 30. This auction offers a rare chance for buyers looking for a project in a desirable location.
