Study Inn Transforms Brotherton House Into Brand New Leeds Student Accommodation

Finding the right student accommodation can be a headache. You want a place that feels like home, but with top-tier facilities and a location that’s actually convenient. Well, if you're studying in Leeds, you’re in luck—Study Inn has just completed its redevelopment of Brotherton House, turning it into one of the most exciting student living spaces in the city. And judging by the awards it’s racking up, they’ve done a pretty good job.

Let’s take a look at what makes Brotherton House stand out.

A Historic Building With a Modern Twist

Originally built in 1956 for Lord Brotherton’s chemical company, Brotherton House has been a part of Leeds for decades. In 2012, local property firm J Pullans & Sons bought the building, and by 2022, they teamed up with Study Inn to turn it into high-quality student accommodation.

The first phase of the transformation introduced 163 rooms while keeping the building’s historic charm intact. But Study Inn didn’t stop there. In September 2024, the second phase was completed, adding a 15-storey extension with 222 more rooms. That brings the total to 385 rooms, all designed with students in mind.

Next-Level Facilities That Go Beyond Just a Bed

It’s easy to find student housing with a desk and a bed, but Brotherton House offers much more than the basics. Here’s what students living here can enjoy:

• A wellness spa – Because student life can be stressful.
• A fully equipped gym and yoga studio – Stay active without leaving the building.
• Bowling lanes and a cinema lounge – Perfect for relaxing with friends.
• Dedicated study areas – A quiet space to focus when you need it.

Whether you're in an en-suite serviced apartment or a serviced studio, every room comes with hotel-style service—including cleaning and linen changes at no extra cost. It’s designed to be more than just a place to sleep; it’s a space where students can actually enjoy their time at university.

A Focus on Sustainability

Beyond providing a great student experience, Study Inn has put serious effort into making Brotherton House eco-friendly. Some of the sustainability features include:

✅ Photovoltaic panels – These generate renewable electricity.
✅ Air source heat pumps – A greener way to heat the building.
✅ Off-site highway improvements – Not just for students, but for the wider Leeds community.

With these features, Brotherton House isn’t just a great place to live—it’s a step towards more sustainable student accommodation.

Award-Winning Student Accommodation

Clearly, Study Inn’s efforts haven’t gone unnoticed. Brotherton House has already won two major awards in 2024:

🏆 Property Week Health and Wellbeing Award – Recognising spaces designed to enhance student welfare.
🏆 Best Student Accommodation in Leeds – Voted by students at the Student Crowd Voice Awards.

That last one is a big deal—because when students themselves say it’s the best place to live, you know it’s doing something right.

Expanding Across the UK

With the success of Brotherton House, Study Inn is now on the lookout for more opportunities in key UK cities. The company has already developed 2,070 rooms across locations like Bristol, Nottingham, Exeter, Leicester, and Birmingham, and it’s now working on new projects in York and Southampton.

If you know of a potential site for their next development, Study Inn is offering a 2.5% introduction fee—so it’s worth getting in touch.

A New Standard for Student Living

With hotel-style service, top-tier facilities, and a focus on community and well-being, Study Inn’s Brotherton House sets a new standard for student accommodation in Leeds.

If you’re a student looking for a place to live, this could be the perfect spot. And if you're a parent, knowing that your child has 24/7 security, a dedicated centre manager, and an exceptional cleaning service is definitely reassuring.
