Description

Opportunity to acquire a former school and associated land (Use Class C2) with alternative potential for redevelopment.

At the heart of the site stands an impressive and substantially extended 17th century manor house, beautifully converted into a three storey main school building, with the upper level set within the roof space. Constructed in traditional solid red brick beneath an attractive ceramic tiled roof, the building blends historic character with practical modern use.

The main building accommodates a wide range of facilities including classrooms, a spacious dining hall, kitchen, staff offices, a library and boarding dormitories. Adjoining this is the single storey Junior Department, providing dedicated classroom accommodation, with direct access to the dining hall.

Positioned opposite the principal entrance are the Dame Alice and Sedgemoor buildings, seamlessly integrated into the campus layout. The Sedgemoor building is home to fully equipped science laboratories, while the Dame Alice building offers additional teaching space alongside boarding accommodation.

Across the courtyard sits the Art and ICT building, with the historic granary located to the east. The eastern section of the site is devoted to sport and specialist teaching, featuring a sports hall and dedicated blocks for Design & Technology, Geography, Mathematics, Music and History.

Expansive front and rear paddocks lie to the north of the main building, enhancing the rural setting, while an all-weather sports pitch is located to the south of the dining hall, across Ellingham Drove.

The site benefits from on-site car parking for approximately 30 vehicles at the front of the property, with a private driveway providing convenient access from Cross Lanes.

In total, the grounds extend to approximately 16.28 acres (6.58 hectares), offering an exceptional combination of heritage, space and modern educational facilities.

Set within attractive Hampshire countryside, Moyles Court School enjoys a peaceful and semi-rural setting while remaining highly accessible. The surrounding area is characterised by open farmland, woodland and country estates.

The school lies close to the market town of Ringwood, with the natural landscapes of the New Forest National Park nearby. Despite its rural feel, the location is well connected: Bournemouth and Southampton are both within easy reach, and London is accessible for commuters.

Road connections are excellent, with convenient access to the A31, M27 and M3, providing onward routes to the South Coast and London. Mainline rail services to London Waterloo are available from nearby stations, ensuring strong regional and national connectivity.
