About Beechenhurst House

Student life looks different for everyone. Some people enjoy returning to a busy shared kitchen after lectures, while others value having a quieter place where they can cook, study and relax on their own schedule. Beechenhurst House has been created with that second lifestyle in mind, offering fully self-contained studios where residents have complete control over their daily routine.

All studios have been furnished so students can move in without having to buy needed furniture before the academic year. Having a kitchen of your own means that you can arrange meals around your own timeline, not shared schedules; a private bathroom and study space provide a place to focus on homework without extraneous distractions.

Accommodation is based around independent living, but this doesn’t mean living in solitude. You can use the shared facilities across the building to take a break from your room and meet other tenants whenever you choose. There are lots of opportunities to get involved in the wider student community, whether this is in the lounge, the shared kitchen or sitting in the outdoor courtyard.

Many students also choose Beechenhurst House directly because it offers a straightforward living experience from the beginning. Utility bills are included within the rent, practical facilities are already in place, and the property sits in one of Birmingham's most established student areas, making everyday life considerably easier after moving in.
