TWO rare – and very different – Grade-II listed buildings are to be sold with Graham Penny Auctions Derby.

Waingroves Hall in Ripley (below right) and the former Wycliffe Church in Alfreton (right) will go under the hammer on Thursday, September 11, at Derby’s iPro Stadium along with dozens of other residential houses, mixed-use properties and land lots from across Derbyshire and the rest of the UK.

Andrew Parker, director at Graham Penny Auctions, said: “Grade-II listed properties don’t come on the market very often and so to have two in our next auction is exciting. Both have many unique features and the potential for development or investment.”

Waingroves Hall, in Codnor Denby Lane, is a three-storey, six-bedroomed Georgian country house set in two acres of woodland gardens. Approached by a long shared driveway, the secluded property offers spacious accommodation and boasts character and Georgian elegance, while the gardens feature lawns, an orchard and areas of woodland. The lot has a guide price of £150,000+. The former Wycliffe Church, in Church Street, is an 18th-century stone-built building and church hall which includes planning permission for conversion into three residential dwellings. The church retains original features, including stained glass windows and exposed roof timbers, while the church hall has two entrance foyers, an arched meeting hall, two vestries and cellarage. Guide price £130,000+.

Andrew said: “Both properties have extremely attractive guide prices and, thanks to their unique characteristics, are receiving a lot of interest.

“It’s individual properties such as these that attract a lot of interest in the auction room.”
