The Terry Frost Building, Leeds

The Terry Frost Building is one of Leeds' most distinctive new student residences — and not just because of the name. Located on Whitelock Street in the Sheepscar area, LS7 1EH, this Prestige Student Living property sits just 1 mile from Leeds city centre and within walking distance of five major universities. Ensuite rooms start from £152/week and studios from £215/week, with every bill included and no hidden costs.

What sets the terry frost building leeds apart from the majority of student properties in the city is the combination of location, facilities, and character. The building is home to 410 students across ensuite cluster flats and studio rooms spread over six floors. At the entrance, a dedicated Terry Frost art installation sets the tone — this is a building that takes its environment seriously. On the ground floor, a public art gallery and studio space managed by local award-winning non-profit East St Arts hosts regular workshops and exhibitions throughout the year, giving residents a genuinely cultural home base that you will not find at any comparable student property in Leeds.

Leeds itself is one of the UK's top student cities — with more than 50,000 full-time students and one of the greenest urban environments in Europe, with two-thirds of the total city area made up of woodland and green space. Students at terry frost leeds consistently highlight the city's balance of academic quality, affordability, and social life as reasons they chose Leeds over other UK cities. For international students especially, terry frost leeds offers a rare combination of affordable all-inclusive pricing and a location that puts five universities within walking distance. With the University of Leeds, Leeds Beckett, Leeds Arts University, Leeds College of Music, and Leeds City College all reachable on foot, the location of this building makes the daily commute to lectures one less thing to think about.

Room Types at The Terry Frost Building

The Terry Frost Building offers two main living setups: ensuite rooms within four-to-eight-bed cluster flats, and fully self-contained studio rooms. Every room across both categories is fully furnished — bed, study desk, chair, wardrobe, under-bed storage, and a private en-suite bathroom — and all bills are included in the weekly rent.

Ensuite Rooms — from £152/week: Ensuite rooms at the terry frost building sit within shared cluster flats, giving you a private bedroom and bathroom while sharing a communal kitchen and living area with your flatmates. This is the most popular setup for students who want their own space without losing the social side of student living.

• Classic Ensuite — £152/week (51 weeks) / £163/week (44 weeks). The most accessible full-year ensuite in the building. Private bathroom, shared kitchen, and a comfortable, well-proportioned room layout. Short-stay options at £167/week across 27 and 33-week tenancies are also available for mid-year arrivals.

• Standard Ensuite — £153/week (51 weeks). A slight step up from Classic with a similar layout — ideal if you want to secure a full-year room at the sharpest possible price point.

• Deluxe Ensuite — £161/week (51 weeks) / £170/week (44 weeks). More space, the same core setup, and a room that works equally well for long study sessions and relaxed evenings.

• Deluxe Plus Ensuite — £165/week (51 weeks) / £175/week (44 weeks). Additional floor space and a premium finish over the standard Deluxe — a popular mid-range choice among returning students who have upgraded from a Classic.

• Premium Ensuite — £180/week (51 weeks). The top of the ensuite range at The Terry Frost Building — the largest and best-finished private room in the cluster flat setup, with maximum desk space and storage.

Accessible bedroom options are also available across the ensuite range — contact House of Student directly to discuss which room type works best for your requirements.

Studios at The Terry Frost Building Leeds — from £215/week: Studios at terry frost student accommodation give you complete independence — your own kitchen, your own bathroom, your own space to come and go entirely on your own schedule. Both studio tiers include a fully equipped private kitchen alongside the standard furnishings.

• Classic Studio — £215/week (51 weeks). A well-proportioned, fully private studio with everything you need for a comfortable and self-contained student year. The most popular studio option in the building, and consistently one of the first room types to sell out each year.

• Deluxe Studio — £245/week (51 weeks). A larger, higher-specification studio with a more generous layout — ideal for students who spend significant time studying or working in their room and need the space to match.

Facilities & Amenities

The terry frost building leeds is built around the reality of student life — the fact that your accommodation needs to work for studying, socialising, staying healthy, and occasionally doing nothing at all.

• Art, Culture & Community: The Terry Frost art installation at the building entrance is a statement of intent. The ground-floor public art gallery and studio space, run by East St Arts, brings real cultural programming into the building throughout the year — workshops, exhibitions, and community events that give residents a connection to Leeds' wider creative scene that no other student building in the city offers.

• Entertainment & Social: Head up to the sixth floor and you will find the cinema room, private dining room, and games area — three distinct social spaces that cater to very different moods. The cinema room is a proper screening environment for film nights with flatmates. The private dining room can be booked for group dinners, celebrations, or any occasion that deserves a proper table. The games area covers the casual, competitive evenings in between. The communal lounge on the lower floors gives you a relaxed social space for everyday use — coffee, conversation, or simply somewhere other than your bedroom to sit.

• Café Bar & Meeting Space: The on-site café bar is one of the more underrated features of The Terry Frost Building — a proper coffee stop inside the building before a morning lecture. The large designated meeting area is well-equipped and bookable, making it useful for group projects, society meetings, or anything that needs more than a library table.

• Rooftop Terrace & Biodiversity Garden: The sixth-floor rooftop terrace with its biodiversity garden is the building's standout outdoor feature. Leeds is one of the greenest cities in Europe, and The Terry Frost Building leans into that — the garden is a genuine green space above the city, not just a concrete terrace with a view. In warmer months it is the social hub of the building.

• Study Spaces: Dedicated study spaces throughout the building give you quiet, focused environments separate from your bedroom — important when deadlines stack up and your flatmates have other ideas about how to spend the evening.

• Health & Practical: A large on-site gym means no external membership costs. On-site laundry facilities, secure bicycle storage, CCTV, and a small number of car parking spaces round out the practical essentials. The building is fully managed by Prestige Student Living, with maintenance support on hand throughout your tenancy.​​​​​​​

The First Direct Arena — one of the UK's largest indoor entertainment venues — is a 10-minute walk for concerts and events throughout the year.

Getting Around Leeds from The Terry Frost Building

The Sheepscar location gives you excellent access to Leeds' city-wide transport network without the noise and congestion of living right in the centre.

• On Foot: Every university on the list above is walkable. The city centre is a 20-minute walk or a very short bus ride. For students whose entire academic life exists between the building and their campus, many residents find they rarely need to use public transport at all.

• Bus: Multiple bus routes run from Whitelock Street and the surrounding area, connecting you to Leeds city centre, the university campuses, and across the wider city throughout the day and evening.

• Train: Leeds Railway Station is the main hub for regional and national connections — reachable by bus or a walk into the city centre, with frequent services to London, Manchester, Sheffield, and York.

• Cycling: Secure bicycle storage on-site makes cycling to the University of Leeds or Leeds Beckett a genuinely practical and fast daily option — often faster than any other transport method during term time.

• Airport: Leeds Bradford Airport is approximately 8 miles away — around a 25-minute drive or a bus connection — making end-of-term travel straightforward for students flying home.​​​​​​​
