Cranesgate South, Holbeach St Johns

South Holland Drain Location – 1.5 Acres (STS) Being Sold via Secure Sale online bidding. Terms & Conditions apply. Starting Bid £165,000.

A rare and compelling opportunity to acquire a three-bedroom detached bungalow set within approximately 1.5 acres (STS), occupying a truly special position overlooking the South Holland Drain 🌿

This is not your standard purchase — the property is in a significant state of disrepair and has been unoccupied for some time. As such, it is strictly suited to cash buyers only, offering a blank canvas for those ready to take on a full renovation or redevelopment project.

What cannot be replicated, however, is the setting, scale and potential. The plot itself is exceptional — extending to include a private paddock, wooded area, and a range of outbuildings packed with opportunity for the right buyer 🌳

🔑 Key Features

🌿 Approx. 1.5-acre plot (STS) with exceptional rural outlook

💧 Direct views over the South Holland Drain – a standout position

🏡 Three-bedroom detached bungalow requiring full renovation

🚜 Multiple outbuildings, paddock & private woodland – huge potential

The Opportunity

This is a site-led purchase. The dwelling itself requires comprehensive refurbishment and will not be suitable for mortgage lending in its current condition.

However, for developers, investors or experienced buyers, this represents a prime chance to transform or potentially redevelop (subject to planning) in a location where land of this size and setting is rarely available. The existing property is a three-bed detached bungalow with kitchen diner, family bathroom, craft room and a lean-to style conservatory.

Lounge – 5.09m x 3.81m

Kitchen Diner – 4.30m x 3.47m

Hallway 2.05m x 0.72m

Bedroom 3.29m x 2.91m

Family Bathroom 3.86m x 1.87m

Craft Room 2.18m x 1.26m

Lean Too type conservatory – Not Measured.

The grounds have been cleared offering a substantial and versatile plot capable of being shaped into something quite special.

Outside:

The site is extensive and varied, incorporating a mix of formal garden areas, paddock land and a private wooded section. A number of outbuildings are present, all requiring repair or replacement, but offering scope for future use.

The overall plot enjoys a private, rural feel with uninterrupted views, making it ideal for those seeking space, privacy and a long-term project.
