A convent in the centre of Oxford has been put up for sale with a price tag of £12m.
The 3.1-acre site at 15A Magdalen Road comprises 41,649 sq ft across multiple buildings including Grade II listed structures that have served the religious community since 1880.
At the core of the site sits St John’s Home, a 38-bedroom Grade II listed care facility, which generates £55,000 annually through an established lease with Accurocare running until 2037.
The site also feature the New Guest House, a contemporary two-storey building with six en-suite bedrooms, plus various ancillary buildings including workshop spaces and a timber-clad oval chapel.
The site became home to the All Saints Sisters of the Poor in 1880 and was designated as their Mother House in 1976.
Sam Van de Velde, associate in Knight Frank’s education and charities team, which has been appointed to market the opportunity, said: “Properties of this calibre and central Oxford location emerge perhaps once in a generation. Location remains paramount in Oxford’s constrained property market, combined with growing demand for heritage conversions, we expect that this site will be highly sought after.
“We’re offering the property for sale as a whole or in separate lots, enabling both large-scale institutional acquisition and more targeted investment approaches. For investors seeking assets with existing infrastructure, genuine heritage value and multiple revenue streams, this opportunity combines scale, character and development flexibility.”
