A stunning conversion of a Grade II listed building, St Mary’s will offer students in the Newcastle area access to unrivalled student accommodation in the UK’s number one student city.

This latest stage in its impressive journey will see St Mary’s pay homage to its esteemed history whilst providing students with an unrivalled student living space.

Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) is in high demand amongst students as universities across the UK struggle to deal with the ever-increasing number of students. 2020/21 saw the UK’s total full-time student population grow by 8.0%, and this is only set to continue. These elevated student numbers will only increase the demand for PBSA, resulting in extremely high demand in prime student developments such as St Mary’s.
A residential development, completed in February 2022. It is the result of an ambitious scheme that has converted an existing commercial property into a modern mix of 79, one-and-two-bedroom apartments.
The development is set in a quiet and leafy residential district in Bagshot. It lies just 300m from the A322, and less than 900m from the nearest junction of the M3. This makes it an exceptionally convenient base for commuters: central London is less than 45km to the east, and many other employment hotspots are considerably closer still, namely Reading and Bracknell that house major corporations and large industrial estates.
Like many districts of Britain, Bagshot is characterised by an insufficient supply of good, modern homes, which means that local rental demand is robust and reliable. The property is already over 75% tenanted and the developer will take responsibility for ensuring full occupancy. Consequently, as the newest and most striking development in the area, it promises low risk, dependable yields and excellent potential for continuing capital growth.

We are delighted to offer this exciting new development in a very desirable London location. Dolphin House is located in Uxbridge within the London Borough of Hillingdon and beautifully combines a West London location with countryside and rolling hills on your doorstep. The development is situated on the banks of the Grand Union Canal and River Colne and offers a great deal of tranquillity within the boundaries of the UK’s capital city. This building has undergone an amazing transformation and is now a highly desirable residential development that is very attractive to renters and owner occupiers alike.
Uxbridge itself is a business node within the Greater London area. Its fantastic transport links give it an enviable position within London’s reach. The area is well renowned for having a large number of offices within the town centre with companies like Coca Cola, Cadburys, Apple, Mitsubishi, Hertz, Hasbro, GSK, Xerox, Fujitsu, Cisco, PWC & IBM all having a significant office presence within Uxbridge. When you also consider it is within a 10 minute drive of Heathrow, there are many reasons why businesses want to be located in Uxbridge and why demand for rental property is very high here. Furthermore, there is high demand for serviced apartments and hotel accommodation in Uxbridge for this reason, meaning if you wanted to let it out as a serviced apartment there would be ample demand.
In terms of positioning within Uxbridge itself, Dolphin Bridge House is excellently located to capitalise on these business travellers. Located just a 10-minute walk from the town centre and the underground station, and quite literally within a stone’s throw of the Premier Inn hotel, which is located just 100 yards away, demonstrate this is already a hotspot for business stays within the area.
