Purbeck House, Bournemouth

Let's cut the small talk. If you're heading to the South Coast to slay your degree, your accommodation needs to be as fire as your study game. Purbeck House Bournemouth isn't just a place to crash; it’s the ultimate base for that iconic student life you’ve been manifesting. Located right in the buzzing Lansdowne area, this property puts you at the absolute epicentre of the action, making it prime student accommodation in Bournemouth.

This is luxury living without the ridiculous price tag. Purbeck House offers seriously sleek and modern living spaces, primarily comprising Classic Ensuite rooms within shared cluster flats (usually 6 bedrooms). This means you get the best of both worlds: your own private bathroom (no sharing the shower—thank us later) and a vibrant, fully kitted-out shared kitchen and lounge to live your flatmate fantasy. For the lone wolves, there are also a limited number of studio flats available for maximum independence.

The key flex here is the location and the all-inclusive value. Your rent covers all bills, including utilities and ultra-fast Wi-Fi, meaning no more awkward conversations about splitting the electricity. Even better, for Bournemouth University students, your annual bus pass is usually wrapped right into the rent—a game-changer for commuting to the Talbot Campus. Plus, you’re less than a 10-minute walk from the stunning Bournemouth Beach and the best nightlife. Stop scrolling through basic Bournemouth student housing and secure your spot at the place that gets it. This is where coastal chic meets academic slay.

Life at Purbeck House

Purbeck House is stacked with facilities that prove it’s built for the modern, demanding student. This isn't just about functionality; it’s about a seamless, vibey experience.

Facilities: More Than Just a Room

Need to break a sweat? While not mentioned as a full gym, the common room is massive and perfect for breaking out those viral TikTok dance moves. More importantly, the social hub includes free pool, ping pong, and table football, ensuring boredom is cancelled. For your study grind, there are dedicated communal study spaces where you can power through assignments away from your flat’s kitchen chaos.

Practical stuff is handled, too: there's an on-site laundry room to keep your threads fresh and secure bike storage if you prefer two wheels. And when the sun does what Bournemouth is famous for, the outdoor courtyard with a BBQ area is the essential summer hang-out spot. Vending machines are also on standby for those emergency 2 AM snack cravings. Essentially, everything you need for the high-achieving, low-stress student life is right here.

Social Experience: Find Your Flatmate Faves

The social scene at Purbeck House is designed to thrive. Living in the Classic Ensuite cluster flats means you're automatically plugged into a community. Sharing a kitchen and lounge with 5-7 flatmates in your unit is the fastest way to make lifelong friends and build that immediate university family.

Beyond your flat, the huge common room is the main social magnet. Whether you're watching a game on the big screen, dominating the pool table, or just chilling on the comfy sofas, this space is where the connections happen. Plus, the property partners with the ResLifeBU program (for BU students), which organises regular social events, wellness support, and skills sessions. This property makes meeting people genuinely easy—perfect for first years looking to find their squad in Bournemouth student accommodation. The outdoor courtyard is also key for summer socials, making it easy to host low-key gatherings.

The whole building operates with secure key fob access, ensuring that only residents and authorised staff can enter.
