Large freehold campus near town centre — ideal for student housing or redevelopment..
Freehold former university campus with vacant possession
A substantial freehold former university campus in central Cheltenham, offered with vacant possession and confirmed recent refurbishments. The site comprises six main buildings totalling c.85,122 sq ft across approximately 4.69 acres, with 123 en‑suite student bedrooms plus extensive teaching and administration space — a flexible asset for continued education, purpose-built student housing, or comprehensive redevelopment subject to planning.
Positioned under a five-minute walk from Cheltenham town centre and close to prominent local schools, the campus benefits from excellent transport links, strong broadband and mobile connectivity, and proximity to the Cotswold Hills. Recent refurbishments reduce immediate maintenance liabilities, while the scale and layout present clear conversion or redevelopment potential for mixed-use residential, institutional, or community-led schemes.
Important considerations: the wider location is a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with above-average crime statistics; any change of use or large-scale conversion will require planning consent and further due diligence. Buyers should verify title, service arrangements, planning constraints and the refurbishment scope via a full legal and technical pack before exchange.
This opportunity suits investors, education operators or developers seeking a high‑capacity, centrally located Cheltenham site with vacant possession and scope for income generation or strategic redevelopment.
