Unique and beautiful building in a lovely grassy area with trees. Great Residence Life mentors and activities scheme, based under 5 mins away and a large Tesco about the same distance away. No lounge but kitchens are modern and well-designed. Most/all rooms on first 2 floors have stained glass for windows and top floor have skylights. Stunning. Despite being city centre, with windows closed at night, it barely reaches above 40DB so it's ok for sleep too. Can get hot on the top floor in summer (rooms 9-14). There's 3 kitchens, each for 4 -5 people. There's a laundry room with one washer and one dryer shared between both flats with a sink (cold water only!) and space for drying racks which is a bonus. There is also locked bike storage. Only beware if you don't like dogs as the churchyard is where may dog owners take their pets for walks especially in the mornings and evenings, and sometimes it's hard to find for delivery people, so you must give very specific instrustions.

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.

Thank you for your review! It’s wonderful to hear that you’re enjoying your time at St. George’s Flats – the stained glass windows and unique church setting truly make it a distinctive place to call home. It’s one of the few student accommodations with such character, and we’re thrilled it’s been a highlight for you! I’m also glad that the Residence Life mentors and activities have added to your experience. With such a prime location near The Diamond, Heartspace, and the Students' Union, it’s hard to beat for convenience. It’s great to know that the kitchens provide a comfortable social space and that the central location still offers a peaceful environment for a good night’s sleep. And yes, giving clear instructions for deliveries is definitely a must in such a unique spot!

We’re always here to help! Danny 🧔🏻
It's a great experience to live in a church, but the sound-proofing is not good at all as you can hear someone walking and talking outside.
