The education and charities team of property consultancy, Knight Frank, has launched to market the Hillcroft Campus, a historic educational campus located in South Bank, Surbiton, on behalf of Richmond & Hillcroft Adult Community College.

The site, on the market for £7m, represents a rare opportunity to acquire an established educational campus in a prime commutable Greater London location, offering potential for continued educational use and/or alternative uses, subject to the necessary consents.

Set across a 3.75-acre site, this Victorian campus features a Grade II-listed three-storey main building dating from the late 19^th Century, offering 24,273sq ft of space.

This is complemented by Powell House, a 1960s purpose-built accommodation block providing 5,188sq ft of space, and a Grade II-listed converted stable block connected to the main building.

In total, the estate offers approximately 29,461sq ft of space.

Jasper Upton, associate in the education and Charities team at Knight Frank, said: “This rare opportunity presents an exceptional chance to acquire a substantial educational campus in a highly-sought-after Greater London location.

“The site’s proximity to central London, combined with its historical significance and alternative use potential, makes it an attractive proposition for educational providers or developers seeking to establish a presence in this thriving area.”

The property enjoys an enviable position in Surbiton, just 0.1 miles from Surbiton Station, offering direct services to London Waterloo with journey times of approximately 22 minutes.

The location also benefits from easy access to the A3 and M25, while Heathrow and Gatwick airports are within 12 and 23 miles respectively.

Surbiton’s appeal is enhanced by its vibrant community, featuring numerous amenities including cafés, restaurants, and shops.

The area is particularly noted for its outstanding educational institutions, with several Ofsted ‘Outstanding’-rated schools nearby, including St Andrews & St Marks, Tiffin Boys’ School, and Tiffin Girls’ School.

The principal of Richmond & Hillcroft Adult Community College, said: “We are very mindful of the long history of teaching and learning at the Hillcroft site that has inspired many generations of local people, particularly women.

“While this news will mean the cessation of activities at the Surbiton site, it is not the end of the story for women’s education.

“Courses will be transferred to the Parkshot site or local community venues and Hillcroft’s legacy will be secured for the long term.”
