If you are searching for student studios in Lancaster or smaller private flats, you may have come across developments such as Silk Mill and Equitable House. These types of accommodation offer a more independent way of living compared to traditional shared student houses.

In this guide, we will explore some of the options available in Lancaster and help you decide whether this type of accommodation is right for you.

Why choose a student studio or flat in Lancaster?

Studios and smaller flats offer a self contained living space, often including a bedroom, kitchen area and private bathroom. This makes them ideal for students who prefer privacy or a quieter environment for studying.

They are also a popular option for postgraduate students, international students, or anyone who is not part of a larger group looking for shared housing.

Silk Mill Lancaster

Silk Mill is one of the well known student accommodation buildings in Lancaster. Located close to the city centre, it offers easy access to shops, restaurants and transport links.

Equitable House Lancaster

Equitable House offers student accommodation in Lancaster in the form of 1 and 2 bedroom flats rather than traditional studios. This makes it a great option for students who want more space or are planning to live with a friend or partner.

These flats provide separate living and sleeping areas, offering a more comfortable setup compared to a single room studio. It is a popular choice for students looking for independence while still sharing costs with someone else.
