A four-bedroom residence transformed from a former gymnasium at a historic boys’ institution in Benson has been listed with an asking price of £1.1 million.
The distinctive property occupies Oakley Court in the Wallingford area, with the Clock Tower structure serving as the focal point of a residential scheme comprising both converted and newly built dwellings.
According to the sales particulars, the building originally formed part of a substantial Home for Boys complex constructed in the early 1900s, before Berkeley Homes undertook its conversion into residential accommodation in 2002.
The four-bedroom home maintains its original architectural character while providing family-sized living across multiple levels.
Oakley Court occupies grounds adjacent to Benson, with residents holding joint ownership of a large wildflower meadow encircling the collection of properties.
The development sits on the village boundary, offering road connections to Wallingford, Oxford, Reading and Henley.
The listing portrays the Clock Tower dwelling as a truly exceptional opportunity to acquire a character property positioned at the centre of Oakley Court.
The residence is presented as combining the appeal of a heritage conversion with contemporary residential standards.
Properties repurposed from former educational establishments, communal halls and institutional buildings typically attract purchasers seeking characteristics not found in newer housing estates, including generous ceiling heights, expansive original windows and unconventional room arrangements.
Oakley Court has previously been brought to market as an unusual development on account of its blend of historic structures and shared open spaces.
