Rare 3.1-acre Grade II holding close to Oxford city centre, available whole or in part..
Grade II listed Gothic Revival building with attached chapel
A rare central-Oxford holding centred on a Grade II listed Gothic Revival building with an attached chapel and extensive grounds. The main building (St John’s Home) extends to about 41,867 sq ft GIA across 3.1 acres, offering substantial scope for continued C2 care use, conversion to residential units (C3), or mixed-use redevelopment, subject to planning and listed-building consents.
The property is offered freehold with an existing tenancy generating a rent passing of £55,000 per annum, and is available as a whole or in part. Its Magdalen Road location is highly walkable — roughly 1.6 km from Oxford city centre — and sits within a lively, amenity-rich neighbourhood popular with students and professionals.
Important considerations are straightforward: the site is Grade II listed, so any alterations will face statutory controls and likely higher costs; change of use or redevelopment will require planning consent. The area records higher-than-average crime levels and broadband speeds are average, though mobile signal is excellent. This is a long-term, strategic opportunity suited to an investor or developer prepared to manage heritage constraints and secure necessary permissions.
With multiple existing use classes across the site (Care Home C2, residential C3, Place of Worship F1, offices E), the asset offers flexibility. For buyers targeting central Oxford scale, character and future value uplift from sensitive refurbishment or repurposing, this property presents material upside if navigated with appropriate heritage and planning expertise.
