Description
Offered at auction on 25 November 2026, this freehold site comprises three properties: Redthorn House, Redthorn Bungalow and Fen View, set on a generous plot on the Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire border. The former care and supported-living premises are described as having a combined total of 10 bedrooms, eight bathrooms, five reception rooms and three kitchens, together with utility rooms and outbuildings.
The accommodation is arranged across the main house, bungalow and Fen View. The listing gives room dimensions for each, including a conservatory at the bungalow, and notes separate council tax bands for Fen View and Redthorn House. The properties could be considered separately, brought together as one dwelling, or explored for conversion into apartments or multiple units, subject to planning permission and feasibility.
The sale is by live-streamed unconditional auction, with binding contracts exchanged at the point of sale. A 5% deposit and buyer’s fee apply, and prospective bidders should review the legal pack and auction terms before bidding. Viewing is recommended to assess the buildings, plot and potential options.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At a £230,000 guide price, this is an unusual three-property site with extensive accommodation, multiple buildings, generous grounds and scope to rework it as separate homes, a single dwelling or—subject to planning—multiple units. The listing describes a substantial project: finishes and flooring are worn in several rooms, the grounds need attention, and one kitchen has a large area of failed ceiling with exposed insulation and fallen material. The cause and repair scope need investigating; the roof condition also cannot be fully assessed from the photos.
The score is low opportunity overall, with condition and risk weighing on the project and value versus local £/sqf impossible to judge because floor area is missing. This is an auction guide price, not a confirmed purchase price; bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
Key opportunities
- Three existing properties and extensive accommodation give a buyer options to retain separate homes, reunite the site as one dwelling, or explore a different layout, subject to planning where required.
- The generous plot, established trees, enclosed garden areas and large paved access and parking area provide a strong setting to improve alongside the buildings.
- A substantial interior project offers scope to refresh worn finishes and flooring and rethink how the multiple kitchens and living spaces serve the chosen use.
Key risks
- Stripped-back improvement across several buildings, together with the failed kitchen ceiling and grounds work, calls for a heavy programme and careful sequencing rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- The cause and repair scope of the substantial kitchen ceiling failure need investigation; roof condition is not fully assessable from the available views.
