Mount St Mary's College, College Road, S21

Hilco is pleased to offer a landmark educational campus, Mount St Mary's College. This plot extends to a substantial 80.69 acres (32.65 hectares), and is offered for sale on a freehold basis. This presents an exceptional opportunity for continued use as an educational facility or for adaptation to a variety of alternative uses, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The site comprises a wide array of substantial historic and modern buildings, offering an approximate Gross Internal Area (GIA) of 19,080 sq m (205,372 sq ft). The main school building is the largest structure, totalling over 167,000 sq ft and including classrooms, libraries, offices, halls, and boarding facilities. A focal point of the campus is the Grade II listed Memorial Chapel, designed by Adrian Gilbert Scott and built between 1922 and 1924.

The extensive grounds include comprehensive sports facilities, such as rugby and football pitches, cricket squares, an athletics track, astro-turf, and tennis courts, alongside a sports pavilion and a fitness centre with a swimming pool and gym. The wider estate also features ancillary buildings including boarding houses (Loyola and Arrowsmith), a Science Block, Headmaster's House, and multiple detached and semi-detached residences.

Location & Connectivity

The property is situated in Spinkhill, Derbyshire, and benefits from excellent regional connectivity. The M1 (Junction 30) is within easy reach, providing access to Sheffield and Leeds to the north, and Nottingham and London to the south. Sheffield city centre is approximately 10 miles away, with rail services from both Chesterfield and Sheffield providing direct connections to London St Pancras.
