Urslane School

The former Ursuline Preparatory School in Wimbledon, Southwest London, has been put on the market, with a guide price of offers in excess of £7 million.

If the freehold property is not sold to an educational buyer it is likely to be put to an alternative use or development.

Last operated as a Roman Catholic predominantly all-girls preparatory school and nursery that had a presence in Wimbledon since around 1892, the property features a Victorian villa, along with several other buildings including St. Angela’s, a modern facility which was built in 2015 to house the early years and school’s offices. Outdoor there is a multi-use games area and gardens. There is 21,609 square feet of accommodation across the 1.14-acre site.

Property company Knight Frank is handling the sale. Emma Cleugh, head of education and charities at Knight Frank, said: “The sale of the Ursuline Preparatory School on The Downs in Wimbledon, presents a rare opportunity for an owner operator or investor in the educational sector to acquire this unique asset, Equally it will undoubtedly appeal to other end users or developers given its scale and location in one of London’s most sought-after postcodes.”
