The Glassworks Leicester Student Accommodation

Choosing student accommodation is rarely just about the room itself. The location, weekly rent, bills and the kind of space you have around you all become part of your routine once term begins.

The Glassworks Leicester puts students close to the city centre, with Leicester's universities, shops, cafés and transport links all within reach. The residence offers studios, en-suite rooms and shared apartments, so students can choose between having their own space and living with flatmates.

With furnished rooms, utility bills included and a central Leicester location, the Glassworks Leicester student accommodation gives students a straightforward place to live while they settle into university life.

About The Glassworks Leicester

Students have different ideas about what makes accommodation work for them. Some would rather have a studio where the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom are their own, while others prefer sharing a flat and having people around after lectures.

The Glassworks accommodation Leicester caters to both preferences. The property has self-contained studios alongside en-suite rooms and two-bedroom accommodation, giving students several ways to approach their living arrangements.

The rooms are furnished and include a study area, while selected accommodation comes with shared kitchens and living spaces. This means students can choose a setup based on how much privacy they want, how much they want to spend and whether they enjoy a more social style of living.

The location also makes a difference. The Glassworks Leicester sits on Newarke Street, close to Leicester's central area. Leicester Railway Station is nearby, as is St Margaret's Bus Station, while Highcross Leicester gives residents access to shops, restaurants and entertainment without having to travel across the city.

Students looking through the Glassworks Leicester reviews may also want to consider what their daily routine will look like. Being close to university is useful, but having a supermarket, transport, study spaces and places to eat nearby can matter just as much once you are living there.

Room Types & Weekly Rent

One of the main features of the Glassworks Leicester is the choice between shared accommodation and private studios. Weekly rents vary according to the room type, size, and availability.

Room Type	Weekly Rent
Two Bed Flat	From £165
2 Bed Apartment	From £165
Standard En-suite	From £165
Premium En-suite	From £179
Standard Plus Studio	From £185

Two-Bed Flats & Apartments

The two-bedroom options suit students who want to share their accommodation while still having a private bedroom.

The arrangement can work well for friends who want to live together or students who prefer shared accommodation over a studio. Common living areas also give residents somewhere to cook and spend time outside their bedrooms.

Standard & Premium En-suites

Standard and Premium En-suite rooms provide students with a private bedroom and bathroom while retaining access to shared facilities.

The Standard En-suite starts from £165 per week, while the Premium En-suite starts from £179. The difference in price gives students another option when deciding how much of their weekly budget they want to put towards their room.

Studio Rooms

Studio accommodation keeps the main parts of your living space together, giving you your own private setup rather than sharing a kitchen and living area with a larger group. Prices begin at £185 per week for the Standard Plus Studio and reach £219 per week for the Deluxe Studio.

This range gives students some flexibility if they want studio living but still need to keep an eye on their weekly spending.

What's Included at The Glassworks?

Keeping track of several household bills can become a nuisance during a busy term. At the Glassworks accommodation Leicester, the main utilities are included within the rent.

Your weekly accommodation fee covers:

• Wi-Fi

• Electricity

• Heating

• Water

• Furnished accommodation

Social & Communal Spaces
