For sale by Auction on 27 August 2026.
Offered in partnership with Gadsby Nichols - Derby

A rare opportunity to acquire a former Masonic Hall, located within the desirable location of King Street. The property is believed to have originally been a Methodist Church, likely to have been constructed in the late 18th Century, and then was acquired and converted into a Masonic Hall in the early 1900s.

The ground floor of the building accommodates reception, lobby, WC, and kitchen, with access to a hall/former bar area and cellar.

The first floor provides a lobby area with storage off, and access through to the Masonic Hall, which has carpeted floor, picture rail, ceiling fans, and suspended lighting. There are uPVC-framed double glazed windows to the front and rear gables.

Externally, the building is edge-of-pavement, and is close to 100% site coverage. There is a path adjacent to the northern boundary for maintenance.

The property is situated off King Street within the popular Village of Duffield, lying approx. 7-miles to the north of the City of Derby. The position is convenient for the village centre with a range of local amenities, and is directly opposite the former Methodist Chapel, recently acquired by Duffield Parish Council.

Planning The current use is likely to fall within use Class F1, as defined by the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987, (Amended) (England) Regulations 2020.
