Beech House Biography
Beech House is exclusive accommodation for Oxford Brookes students and is ideally located a mere five-minute walk from the Headington Campus. The building is situated on London Road, right next to Dorset House and is a twenty-minute bus ride from the city centre.
You have great social spaces to enjoy as a large, modern common room equipped with comfortable seating, a TV, a pool table and foosball. The common room opens onto the outdoor social space and offers seating that you can make use of during the warmer months. On the ground floor, you can find desks, a study room and even more sofas free to make use of when you need a quiet space to work or relax. To make your stay as convenient as possible there are vending machines.
Beech House offers a range of en-suite rooms, meaning each room has its own private bathroom. Outside your room you can find a shared kitchen and lounge, making it a great space to meet your flatmates.

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation
What tenancy length do I need?
Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.
Should I stay in catered student accommodation?
This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.
What is a guarantor and do I need one?
A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.
Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?
Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.
What bills will my rent include?
If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.
What is purpose-built student accommodation?
Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.
Will my student accommodation be furnished?
Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

Good location however can be quite expensive and a lot of work
Unfortunately this building is the best out of a bad bunch, the room and kitchen space is good, and the location is probably the best for Oxford Brookes. However, the staff blatantly ignore any request or issue with little/no resolution. In my 1st year in the building, serious issues concerning my flatmates were ignored through various emails and in person meetings. The cleanliness of the social areas are good but expect your kitchen and flat to be a complete disaster by the end of your stay as they never check or action hygiene issues. We also had no hot water for weeks in December, lights not working for months, only 1 oven worked in my flat. Worst of all, a ‘staff member’ let themselves in my flat at 11pm whilst we were all in the kitchen and left without a word (i’ve never seen this member of staff again). Despite all the stuff they have put me through last year, i am returning and hope that 2023-24 they improve their customer service and performance.
