The distance to university, the time spent travelling and the facilities available where you live all shape how your days work once term begins. Timber Yard Bristol puts students close to several university campuses, public transport and the shops, cafés and other places they are likely to use regularly.

The accommodation includes en-suite rooms in shared flats as well as private studios, so students can choose between a more social setup and having their own space. Rooms are furnished, while study areas, communal spaces and other facilities are available within the building. For students comparing Bristol accommodation, Timber Yard is worth considering for its location and choice of room types.

About Timber Yard

University life rarely follows a fixed routine. Some days are spent rushing between lectures and seminars, while others involve long hours in the library, group work or simply catching up with friends. Your accommodation becomes part of that routine, which makes its location and the way the building is set up important considerations.

Timber Yard Bristol offers several room types for students with different budgets and preferences. En-suite rooms come with a private bedroom and bathroom, while the kitchen and shared living areas are used with flatmates. Students who would rather have their own kitchen and living space can choose a studio instead.

The rooms are furnished, so there is no need to arrange the basics before moving in. The building also has spaces for studying and spending time with other residents, including a study lounge, meeting room, cinema and games room. Outdoor courtyards and a private dining space add further areas away from individual rooms.

The mix of private accommodation and shared facilities gives students some flexibility in how they spend their time. Those who prefer a quieter routine can make use of their own room, while shared areas offer places to meet other residents and take a break from studying.
