About The Houses

If you enjoy a tranquil, relaxing environment with great spaces to read and study in peace, The Houses are for you. Josephine Butler, Thomas Hopper, Isaac Rebow, Swaynes, Richard Woods, and Anne Knight Houses, are located on our beautiful parkland and very close to some of our main study facilities.

As a new student, you will be able to select either a shared twin room, standard, enhanced (refurbished) or premium (larger bed) accommodation within one of our six Houses. Check out images of this accommodation below which includes images of our standard and enhanced flats. Flats are arranged on each floor of the three-storey buildings (no lifts) and accommodate between four and six students per flat with a shared kitchen and there are only fifty students in each house.
