Tony Webber, of Eddisons, said: “This catalogue is larger than average and includes a wide variety of commercial and residential stock.

“We believe guide prices have been set at levels which reflect current market conditions and will prove attractive to buyers.”

Among the likely highlights is a former church building in Ilkley.

The South Chapel is a vacant Grade II listed building, in Ashlands Cemetery.

The property is being offered with planning consent for internal and external alterations, to create office accommodation or a design studio. The guide price is £120,000 plus.
