The Cowley Road site contains 14 apartments and four terraced houses on a 0.7‑acre plot. Both colleges have confirmed that the property will remain in student use, with Corpus planning to integrate it into its wider student hosuing portfolio.
Strategic context
Corpus already provides student accommodation across several off‑site properties, including the Liddell Building on Iffley Road and accommodation on Banbury Road and Walton Street. St Stephen's House intends to use the proceeds to support its education and training of ordained and lay ministers.
The transaction therefore keeps the property in student accommodation use while providing funding for the seller's core educational activities.
