Description

The site extends to approximately 1.9 acres and has a long-established educational use, having operated as a school since 1962. Planning permission for St Nicholas Infants School and its dedicated access road was originally granted that same year, forming the foundation of the site's current layout. In 1969, consent was also secured for a proposed nursery school on the southern part of the grounds - now the existing grassed play area. Although that standalone nursery building was never constructed, early-years provision was later incorporated within the infant's school itself. Beyond these early approvals, the site has seen only minor, school-related planning activity, including permissions for temporary classroom buildings and lightweight canopy structures. Importantly, no major redevelopment proposals have been brought forward, leaving the site largely unchanged and offering a rare opportunity for a fresh vision to be realised.

The existing school buildings extend to approximately 1,200 sq m (12,917 sq ft) of single-storey accommodation (Including canopy areas). The layout provides a well-balanced mix of classroom, administrative and support spaces, making the site highly adaptable for a range of future uses.

Location
Nestled on the northern side of Wallingford, this appealing site sits within a well-established and desirable residential neighbourhood. Wallingford's vibrant town centre is conveniently located just one kilometre to the south-east, offering easy access to local amenities, shops, and community facilities. Covering approximately 0.77 hectares (1.9 acres), the site is thoughtfully arranged across two distinct areas. The larger northern section accommodates the main access from St Nicholas Road, along with a collection of modern, single-storey school buildings, staff parking, and a generous hard-surfaced play area. The southern portion offers an attractive grassed open space complemented by a number of mature trees, which, together with additional tree lines along the western and parts of the eastern boundaries, provide a natural, green backdrop. The site is bordered on all sides by existing residential properties - Sinodun Road to the north, St Nicholas Road to the east, Alwell Close to the south, and Blue Mountains to the west. Several neighbouring homes are positioned close to the boundary, with some side or rear elevations directly adjoining the site.
