Zest Student Accommodation is making significant progress on its Gloucester Road North purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) scheme located in Filton, just a stone’s throw from the University of the West of England (UWE) Bristol. The completion of this development is anticipated, with tenancies set to begin in September 2026. As the demand for student housing continues to rise, this scheme provides a desirable alternative to traditional shared housing, with all units fully let for the 2026/2027 academic year.
Details of the Development
The Gloucester Road North PBSA features studio-style rooms designed for students who prefer a more independent living experience. Each studio is thoughtfully equipped with a private ensuite bathroom, a kitchenette complete with essential appliances, a study desk, and a wardrobe, catering to the needs of modern students. The rental prices start from £895 per month, which is competitive given the high-quality offerings. Furthermore, the scheme includes shared communal areas that serve as social spaces for residents, fostering a sense of community among students.
Amenities and Location
Included in the weekly rental rate are essential services such as water, broadband, and contents insurance, while electricity is managed through a pay-as-you-go system, providing flexibility for students. The location of the Gloucester Road North development is particularly advantageous; it is situated just a 25-minute walk from UWE Bristol’s Frenchay Campus and is surrounded by a variety of amenities. Students can easily access shops, cafés, gyms, supermarkets, cycling routes, and reliable public transport links, making it an ideal place for student living.
Target Demographic
This PBSA scheme primarily targets second and third-year students, as well as mature learners who are looking for quieter living arrangements. By offering a more private and self-sufficient environment, Zest Student Accommodation aims to meet the demands of students seeking a balance between independence and community.
