The freehold of of former boarding school with redevelopment potential near Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire, has hit the market with an undisclosed price tag.

The former St Michael’s College is set within 22.76 acres of land and features a striking Grade II* listed main building, which was used as a location for the 1986 TV film The Worst Witch. 

The site offers 72,172 sq ft of floor space across the college building and 13 other buildings. Malvern Hills District Council said the site could be used for education, training, residential development, hospitality, or healthcare purposes.

Tom Pike, partner at Fisher German, which has been appointed to market the site, said: “The sale of St Michael’s College is a unique opportunity in Worcestershire for a wide variety of potential buyers. The land and the existing buildings represent a great opportunity for an imaginative buyer to work their magic and has the in-principle support of the local authority.

“The existing red-brick boarding houses could support a variety of uses, while the main college building could also be the centrepiece for an ambitious business looking to create a real destination in the Worcestershire countryside. There are genuinely so many different possibilities, which is why we have opened up the sale on an ‘all enquiries’ basis.”
