Derbyshire County Council's former High Peak Social Service Office in Glossop has sold at auction for more than twice the guide price.
The stone build property on Talbot Street had a guide price of £200,000+ plus fees and was sold on 24 November for £515,000.
What the new owners will do with the offices and car park sitting on a 0.1399 hectares (0.346 acres) site is not yet known.
SDL Property Auctions in their sale catalogue said it could be suitable for a number of uses such as bespoke residential dwellings, a nursery, or offices, subject to necessary planning consents.
The building, which was formerly a primary school, has been empty since 2016.
