The Froebel Trust has placed a Grade II listed former school in the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea on the market with a price tag of £2.5m+.
The mid-19th century property at 32 St Ann’s Villas in Holland Park offers the potential for re-use as an educational establishment or residential conversion, subject to obtaining necessary consents.
The building comprises classrooms, kitchen facilities, outside play areas and a detached music block to the rear on a 0.074-acre site.
Jasper Upton, associate in Knight Frank’s education and charities team, which has been appointed to market the opportunity, said: “Educational assets of this scale with outdoor play space are exceptionally difficult to source in the Holland Park market. This represents a rare opportunity for investors, developers or institutional buyers seeking an education or residential development opportunity in one of London’s most sought-after boroughs.”
Dr Sacha Powel, CEO of Froebel Trust, added: “We are delighted to have appointed Knight Frank to bring our remarkable Grade II listed asset at 32 St Ann’s Villas to market. While it is with mixed emotions that we offer this cherished site for sale, as our requirements have evolved, we recognise now is the opportune time for fresh eyes. Our hope is that the successful buyer will honour the rich educational legacy here and continue its use as an institution of learning. However, as the site offers vast potential for alternative uses, we remain open-minded.”
