The former Bishopstrow College in Bishopstrow, near Warminster, Wiltshire, has been put up for sale by the joint administrators for £2.25m.

The property comprises approximately 23,245 sq ft of buildings set within 6.81 acres of grounds. At the heart of the campus is Barrow House, an early 19th century building, which provides a range of large rooms and spaces for teaching and administration along with boarding accommodation. 

The site also includes Henson Building, a purpose-built three-storey teaching block comprising modern classrooms, tutorial spaces, a science laboratory, IT suite and library, in addition to various ancillary outbuildings.

The campus is being offered for sale with vacant possession on completion.

Emma Cleugh, head of education and charities at Knight Frank, which has been appointed to market the opportunity, said: “This is a rare opportunity to acquire a compact former boarding school campus in an attractive Wiltshire location. The property offers an appealing combination of a characterful period building and modern teaching facilities, with outside space extending to over six acres.

“There’s clear potential for continued educational use, but the site could equally suit alternative purposes or development, subject to planning consent. We anticipate diverse interest given the property’s extent of accommodation, flexibility, and good connectivity to surrounding villages as well as Bath and Bristol.”

The affairs, business and property of Bishopstrow College Limited are being managed by Richard Lewis and Alistair Wardell, who were appointed as joint administrators on 30 June 2025.
