5A Juntion in cupboard?

We have a small cupboard which has a wire coming from the ceiling with a 5a junction box attached. I assume its all live as when we looked round the house it had a freezer in there. How much would we expect to get this turned into /connected to a normal plug so we could put our freezer in there for?

Thanks.

    then it wouldn't have to be replaced IMHO. Just because it has a 5AJB attached to it doesn't mean that its flex or 1/1½mm 2c+e off the lighting circuit either.

    Perhaps the OP could tell us more about what they actually have. Pic might help.
