The Comer Homes scheme is built around the Grade II listed former public school which has featured in nearly 400 films and TV shows – including the first three Harry Potter films, Monty Python’s Life of Brian and St Trinian’s.
Built in 1903, the dining hall was used in all three Potter movies, then recreated in a studio and as a visitor attraction.
There are 156 homes in the historic building, but only four remain for sale. The hall has remained in situ for the residents to enjoy.
The campus was home to The Royal Masonic School for Boys until 1977, when it became the United States International University, Europe. Comer bought the site in 1998, but continued to run it as a university until 2007, beginning its residential development in 2009.
