Market House: Your Student Home in Newcastle Upon Tyne

Market House is on Market Street, Newcastle NE1 6XA, putting students close to the shops, cafes and everyday services around the city centre. Northumbria University's City Campus is just over a mile away, and the property has a choice of studios and en-suite rooms for students who have different budgets and living preferences. Weekly prices start at £108 for a Silver Studio, although the listed rates vary considerably across room categories.

The main decision is whether you want a self-contained studio or a private bedroom in a shared flat. Studios come with their own kitchen and bathroom, while en-suite rooms generally have a private bathroom alongside shared kitchen and living facilities. Electricity, heating, water and WiFi are included in the rent, so you can work out much of your regular accommodation spending before you arrive.

Studios and En-Suite Rooms at Market House

The studio options range from Silver Studio to Platinum Studio Plus, with several price points between them. There are also en-suite rooms with different finishes and layouts, including a Silver En Suite with a courtyard view and a City En-suite Plus.

Room type	Listed price per week
Silver Studio	£108
Gold Studio	£115
Gold Studio Plus	£120
Platinum Studio	£123
Platinum Studio Plus	£135
Bronze Studio	£209
Bronze En-Suite	£165
Silver En-Suite	£165
City En-suite Plus	£165
Gold En-Suite	£169
Silver En Suite (Courtyard View)	£169
Silver Plus En Suite	£169
Platinum En-suite	£175
Gold En Suite Plus	£185

These are the supplied starting prices, not a guarantee of current availability. The Bronze Studio is listed at £209 per week, which is higher than the other studio prices shown, so confirm the rate rather than assuming the room categories follow a simple price order.

A studio gives you more control over your daily routine. You can prepare meals, keep your belongings in your own space and study without having to coordinate with flatmates over shared rooms. An en-suite room may suit you better if you want a private bathroom but do not mind sharing a kitchen and living area. Sharing these spaces can also make it easier to get to know other students after moving to Newcastle.

Check the floor plan and facilities for the room you are considering. The room name alone will not tell you everything about its layout, storage or position within the building. Before paying a deposit, ask for the current price, contract length and any additional charges.

What the Rent Covers

Electricity, heating, water and WiFi are included in the Market House rent. That takes several recurring household bills out of your monthly calculations, though you will still need to account for groceries, transport, study materials and personal spending.

There are practical facilities for the parts of student life that happen outside your room. Study rooms give you somewhere to work when your bedroom feels distracting, while the games room and social spaces offer a change of scene after lectures. The property also organises on-site events, giving residents opportunities to meet people without having to arrange everything outside the building.

Laundry is available on site, and a maintenance team can help when something in the property needs attention. Security provisions include CCTV, secure door entry and 24-hour security. These facilities are useful to factor into your decision, especially if you expect to spend long days on campus and return to the accommodation at different times.

If you're comparing Market House with other properties, start with the student accommodation in Newcastle Upon Tyne. Comparing the rent, included bills and room layout together will give you a more realistic picture than looking at the weekly price alone.

University and Transport Connections

Market House is particularly relevant to students who want to live near central Newcastle rather than close to just one university building. Northumbria University's City Campus is a little over a mile away, while Coach Lane Campus is approximately 3.9 miles from the property. The difference matters: a commute that feels manageable from one campus may be less convenient from the other.

Public transport provides connections around Newcastle and to destinations beyond the city. The best route will depend on your course location and timetable, so check journey times for the days you expect to travel. If you have early lectures or regular sessions at Coach Lane, look at the first available services as well as the usual daytime journey.

The central address is also useful for everyday trips. You can reach shops, cafes and libraries without making every errand a separate journey, and the city's transport network gives you alternatives when walking is not practical. For trips home during university breaks, check how you would travel from the accommodation to the station or coach departure point you plan to use.

Food Shopping, Cafes and Restaurants

Grainger Market is one place to look for groceries and other everyday purchases. Eldon Square has a broader mix of retailers, while Fenwick Newcastle and The Gate offer further shopping, dining and entertainment options. Having these places within reach can be handy when you need something beyond the weekly food shop.

There is no shortage of places to eat around the city centre. Fuego, Babucho Quayside and Lui's Bar and Kitchen Newcastle are options for a meal out. Café 11 and Mokka Cafe & Bakery are worth considering when you want coffee, a snack or somewhere to pause between classes.

For an evening with friends, The Wobbly Duck, The Trent House and Newcastle Tap are among the listed venues. You can make use of the city's social scene without planning a long trip across Newcastle, although the cost of frequent meals and nights out can add up quickly.

A studio's private kitchen gives you the option of cooking at home, while students in en-suite rooms will generally use a shared kitchen. If you expect to prepare most of your own meals, check the kitchen facilities for the specific room and think about how much storage you will need for food and cookware.

Places to Exercise and Take a Break

Workout Central and PureGym Newcastle Eldon Garden are local gym options to consider. Their memberships and facilities may differ, so check current prices before choosing one. If regular exercise is part of your routine, include membership fees and the journey from Market House in your budget.

The city centre has quieter places to spend time outdoors, too. NE1's Grey Street Gathering and Civic Centre Gardens offer spaces for a walk or a short break between study sessions. You do not have to plan a full day out every time you need to get away from your desk.

When you need to work somewhere other than your room, the Lit & Phil Library and Newcastle City Library are alternatives to the study rooms at Market House. Northumbria University's City Campus Library may also be useful, depending on your access. Check opening hours and any membership or entry requirements before heading over.

Would Market House Suit Your Student Routine?

The strongest reason to consider Market House is its central location. Shops, cafes, libraries and public transport are close enough to make day-to-day errands straightforward, while the range of room types gives you a choice between independent studio living and an en-suite room in shared accommodation.

The price needs a closer look. The listed studios range from £108 to £209 per week, while the en-suite options range from £165 to £185. These figures should be confirmed with the provider, particularly if you are comparing rooms for a specific move-in date. Remember to include any deposit and other charges when calculating the amount you need before arrival.

Your campus should also influence the decision. Students attending Northumbria University's City Campus may find the location convenient, while those based at Coach Lane should check their commute carefully. Think about how often you will travel, whether you prefer to cook at home, and how much use you are likely to make of the shared facilities.

Other Student Accommodation in Newcastle Upon Tyne

Market House is one option among several properties in Newcastle. If the room prices or shared facilities do not suit you, these alternatives are worth comparing:

• Oxford House - Newcastle

• Newgate Court

• Manor Bank

• The View - Newcastle

• St James Point

Compare each property's location with your university, then check the available room types and current weekly rates. A lower rent may be less useful if it means spending considerably more on travel, while a more expensive room may offer facilities you will rarely use.

If Market House looks suitable, confirm the available room categories, bills and contract terms before committing. You can also use the Newcastle Upon Tyne accommodation listings to compare your options and narrow the search to properties that fit your budget and daily routine.
