About this property

Northernhay House

Northernhay House Exeter Student Accommodation

Choosing accommodation in Exeter is often less about travelling across the city and more about what you can reach on foot. Lectures, supermarkets, cafés and study spaces quickly become part of your everyday routine, so where you live can make a noticeable difference.

Northernhay House Exeter sits in the city centre, giving students easy access to university, transport links and the places they use most during the week. Managed by Host, Host Northernhay House offers a mix of shared apartments, en-suite rooms, studios and one-bedroom flats, making it suitable for different budgets and ways of living.

Northernhay House Exeter Address & Location

Address

Northernhay House
Northernhay Place
Exeter
EX4 3RY

If you're searching for the Northernhay House Exeter address or the Northernhay House postcode, this is the location of the property.

Living in this part of Exeter means many everyday essentials are close by.

Picking up groceries is straightforward, with Co-op Food on Pennsylvania Road and Sainsbury's Local on Sidwell Street both within easy reach. Guildhall Shopping Centre also provides access to supermarkets, high street shops and other everyday stores, making it a regular stop for many students.

Food options are just as varied. Five Guys Burgers and Fries Exeter, Old Fire House, Arrietty and Dottie's Restaurant are all nearby, giving students different choices whether they're meeting friends, grabbing lunch between lectures or eating out at the weekend. Ship Inn and Old Timers Bar are also close to the property for those looking to spend an evening in the city.

Public transport is easy to access from Northernhay House accommodation. Sidwell Street, High Street and New North Road bus stops are all nearby, while Exeter Central and Exeter St Davids railway stations provide connections across the region. Exeter Coach Station is also within reach for longer journeys.

Students looking for somewhere quiet to study outside university can use Exeter Library, while the Forum Library and St Luke's Campus Library are also accessible. For fitness, PureGym Exeter Fore Street and Studio Pilates International Exeter are both nearby.

Healthcare is available through Exeter Community Hospital and the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital when required.

Why Students Consider Northernhay House

Accommodation becomes part of your routine surprisingly quickly.

The walk to university, somewhere to cook in the evening, a quiet place to study, and knowing what your monthly costs will look like often become more important than the room itself.

Northernhay House brings those practical things together without making everyday life complicated.

Different Room Types

Not every student looks for the same type of accommodation.

Some prefer shared apartments because they enjoy living with other people. Others want an en-suite room, while some would rather have a studio or a one-bedroom flat with more privacy.

Northernhay House Exeter includes all of these options, making it easier to choose accommodation that suits both your budget and the way you want to live.

Bills Included

The weekly rent includes:

  • Electricity

  • Gas

  • Heating

  • Water

  • WiFi

Having these costs included means there are fewer separate household bills to organise after moving in. It also makes budgeting throughout the academic year much easier.

Shared Living & Independent Options

One of the strengths of the property is the variety of accommodation available.

Students choosing a shared apartment still have their own bedroom while sharing communal areas with other residents. En-suite rooms provide a private bathroom alongside shared kitchens. Studio rooms and one-bedroom flats offer a more independent setup for students who prefer their own living space.

Room Types & Weekly Rent at Northernhay House

Northernhay House accommodation includes shared apartments, en-suite rooms, studios and one-bedroom flats. Every option is designed around a different style of student living rather than following a single room layout.

Shared Apartments

Students choosing a shared apartment have their own bedroom while sharing the kitchen and living space with other residents. Both Standard and Classic Shared Apartments are available, giving students a more social style of accommodation.

En-suite Rooms

Basic and Classic En-suite Rooms include a private bathroom while keeping shared kitchen facilities. This room type suits students who want additional privacy without moving into a studio.

Studio

The Basic Studio includes a private bedroom, bathroom and kitchen within one self-contained space. Students who prefer living independently often choose this room category.

One Bedroom Flat

The Classic One Bedroom Flat provides the highest level of privacy within the property. With a separate bedroom, private bathroom and its own kitchen and living area, it offers a different layout from the other room types available at Exeter Northernhay House.

Facilities at Northernhay House

Student accommodation Exeter becomes much easier to settle into when the practical things are already taken care of.

Laundry, secure access, somewhere to leave a bike and a place to spend time outside your room all become part of everyday life once the academic year begins. Northernhay House includes a range of shared facilities that support those routines without making them the centre of the experience.

Great location and great value for money. However, the building itself is a bit of a mixed experience. The walls are very thin, so you can hear conversations from the flatmates rooms. The taps have an odd temperature balance the hot tap is very hot and the cold tap is very cold which makes washing dishes awkward. On the positive side, the rooms are quite spacious, which is a big plus. If you’re on the fifth floor or above and facing the old firehouse, you get a great view over Exeter. But the pub noise can be distracting unless you wear earphones. The lift can also be unreliable and sometimes gets stuck for a few minutes before moving again. Overall, despite a few issues, it’s a solid accommodation for the price and good value considering the location.

This is one of the top accommodations in Exeter. The rooms are well-designed and spacious, and the kitchen offers ample space for storing your belongings. Rutwik is incredibly helpful and responsive, definitely the go-to person for any support. I’ve had a wonderful experience staying here and would highly recommend booking it without delay.

2024/25 en suite : good location, walk 25 mins to main campus, got bus station nearby, to campus around 17mins. good location for near depot and the barn etc. one of the cheapest spot, big room, double bed, 4ppl flat for me, small kitchen but enough, have good glass for isolating the noise from the pub. -1 star for fixed shower head and mixed toilet (toilet and shower in same room not separate design)

5.0

I've had a truly positive experience living here. The facilities are well-maintained, modern, and thoughtfully designed to support both comfort and convenience, which is especially important for international students like myself. One of the standout aspects of my stay has been the incredible support from the staff, particularly Rutwik Govardhan. His willingness to go above and beyond, not just with accommodation-related matters but also with academic and personal guidance, has made a real difference in my journey. It’s rare to come across someone so genuinely caring, patient, and approachable. When you're far from home, having someone like Rutwik around—someone who listens, understands, and acts—is invaluable. His support has made this place feel more like a community than just student housing. Grateful to be part of such a welcoming and supportive environment. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for more than just a place to stay.

The staff at Northernhay House are so friendly and helpful. Ruby is amazing-she’s very smiley and having a chat with her always brightens my day. Every student accommodation needs a “Ruby”! 😊 I really appreciate the effort that goes into decorating reception for different times of year, and putting events on in reception to commemorate special days. There are often free things at reception, like pancake mix and lemons for pancake day, chocolates for Valentine’s and lots of other fun and thoughtful things. Thank you!
