A former library that served the community for nearly 60 years has sold at auction for more than £193,000.
It went under the hammer with BTG Eddisons Property Auctions last week, fetching £193,500 and comfortably surpassing its guide price.
Christopher Theocharides, senior commercial surveyor at BTG Eddisons Property Auctions, previously said: "This is an architecturally striking building that has been part of local people’s lives in Attleborough for decades.
"It’s been unused for a few years now, so the auction offers an opportunity to give a well-known local landmark a new lease of life."
The library was designed by architect GW Oak and was funded by a legacy from solicitor Melancthon Lombe Brooke.
It was described by architectural historian Sir Nikolaus Pevsner as "a very pleasant, fresh little building".
The building sits on a half-acre plot and may be suitable for alternative uses, subject to planning permission.
Mr Theocharides added: "The property has a sizeable site and scope for a range of future uses."
