Bedrooms

All of our bedrooms are supplied fully furnished, most with modern furniture from Ikea.

Some bedrooms even come with en-suite bathroom facilities; however, these are in high demand and there is an additional premium to pay.

A typical bedroom will have the following features:

• Comfy double bed (usually 4ft wide, depending on room size)
• Storage for all your clothes (wardrobe and chest of drawers)
• Desk and chair for your studies
• Shelving for your books
• Bedside table, space permitting
• Three or more double sockets
• Curtains and/or blinds to keep the light out
• Large notice board to hang your notes and pictures

Additional extras (items you won’t need to bring):

• Mirror
• Network cable, if you prefer a fixed internet connection
• TV connection point
• Mattress protector

Items you will need to bring:

• Bedding, such as a duvet, duvet covers and pillows
• Desk lamp, if you want additional lighting when studying
• Anything else to make your room feel homely!

Due to the large numbers of students under our management, we are unable to remove furniture from the rooms.  This is because we have limited storage space in our office and our maintenance team are busy keeping all our houses in good condition.

Extra Help for International Students

If you are an international student and you don't have access to some of the basic equipment needed to set up your home from home, we can usually arrange to supply you with things such as bedding and pillows.  Just let us know when you reserve a room.

Maintenance

If you are already renting a house with us and have found something that isn’t working as it should, please raise a maintenance request by sending us an email to and include your property code (house number + abbreviated street name) and a brief description in the email subject line i.e. ‘7 Vas – Bedframe broken’.

Communal Living

Kitchen:

We know how important communal living spaces are in a shared house and we try to make them places where you want to relax and socialise.

Many of our kitchens have been refurbished to a high standard and come supplied with fitted appliances.

A typical kitchen will have the following features:

• Dishwasher to help you keep things clean
• Washing Machine & Tumble Dryer
• Hob, oven and microwave to make quick, easy meals
• Fridge / Freezer, sometimes more than one is provided so everyone has enough space

Additional extras (items you won’t need to bring):

• Vacuum (usually a 'Henry' hoover)
• Mop & Bucket
• Dustpan and brush
• Broom

Items you may need to bring:

• Plates, bowls and cutlery
• Glasses and mugs
• Kettle
• Toaster
• Iron and ironing board

There’s a good chance someone may already have bought the items listed above so please check first what everyone else has bought to the house before making a purchase.

Lounge:

The lounge is at the heart of the house and we have tried to design them so that you can make the most of your downtime.  Some houses combine the lounge and the kitchen.

A typical lounge will have the following as standard:

• Large, wall-mounted flat screen TV with internet access to connect your favourite apps
• Comfy sofas and cushions
• Coffee table

Gardens

Many of our houses have a small front garden and a landscaped garden to the rear.  This is perfect in the summer if you want to have a barbeque or relax in the sun.

The gardens usually have a washing line, compost bin, set of chairs and table and also a shed with some garden tools so that you can keep everything tidy.  If the garden has a lawn, we always supply a lawn mower so you can keep the grass short.

INTERNET

Fast Fibre Broadband

We understand how important it is to have a fast broadband connection as a student. 

With this in mind, we have fast fibre broadband in all our houses and this is included in your rent.  You can either connect to the house WiFi or one of the fixed internet connections.

If you are already renting a house with us and are experiencing issues with speed and/or connection, please raise a maintenance request by sending us an email to and include your property code and a brief description in the email subject line i.e. ‘7 Vas – No internet connection’.
