Knight Frank brings Bishopstrow College to market for £2.25m

The Education & Charities team of global property consultancy Knight Frank has been instructed to market the former Bishopstrow College in Bishopstrow, near Warminster, Wiltshire, on behalf of the Joint Administrators.

The substantial property comprises approximately 23,245 sq ft of buildings set within 6.81 acres of grounds, in a village location on the edge of the Cranborne Chase in Wiltshire.

At the heart of the campus is Barrow House, an early 19th century building featuring elegant period architecture and providing a good range of large rooms and spaces for teaching and administration along with boarding accommodation. In addition, included in the sale is The Henson Building, a purpose-built three-storey teaching block with modern classrooms, tutorial spaces, a science laboratory, IT suite, and library, along with various ancillary outbuildings.

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

Emma Cleugh, Head of Education & Charities at Knight Frank, commented: "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 6 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.” 

Warminster Railway Station is approximately 1.6 miles away, providing direct services to Bath Spa, Bristol Temple Meads, and London Waterloo. The property is also conveniently positioned for access to the A36 and A303 trunk roads.

The affairs, business and property of Bishopstrow College Limited (“the Company”) are being managed by Richard Lewis and Alistair Wardell, who were appointed as Joint Administrators on 30 June 2025.
