About this home

A five-person house in the part of town students use every day

Penny Street gives five students a full house close to Lancaster’s main southern city-centre amenities. The property has five furnished bedrooms, two bathroom or shower facilities, a communal lounge, kitchen and laundry facilities.

Each bedroom includes a small double bed, bedside table, chest of drawers, double wardrobe, mirror, desk and chair, bookshelf, pinboard and TV point. The study furniture is already in place, and the lounge gives the group a shared space away from bedrooms.

Groceries, gym, green space and campus buses

Aldi, Sainsbury’s Local and Tesco are all close enough for everyday shopping. Snap Fitness is nearby for students who want a city-centre gym, while Greaves Park gives the group useful green space south of the centre.

The South Road bus stops are convenient for Lancaster University services, and Common Garden Street is also within the central network. The direct 1/1A provides a campus connection approximately every ten minutes, with additional routes adding more departures during the day.

Penny Street also puts cafés, takeaways, shops and nightlife within walking distance. It suits a group that wants city-centre access without living at the northern end of town.

Bills included

Rent includes the property’s stated bills package. Bayt confirms the weekly price, allowance, broadband, deposit and tenancy dates before the group signs.

Questions students ask before booking

Quick answers for groups comparing location, bills, safety checks and viewing next steps.

Is the five-bedroom Penny Street house available for 2026/27?

No standing rent is published for 2026/27 while the current group completes — the five-bedroom Penny Street house is marked under offer. We give the live position on 01524 888 151 or by WhatsApp, and the form on this page registers your group's interest so we can contact you if it frees up.

What do the included bills cover at the five-bedroom Penny Street house?

Gas, electricity, water, TV licence and high-speed internet — that is the package on the five-bedroom Penny Street house’s own published listing for 2026/27. If your group needs something specific, such as a faster broadband tier, put it to us in writing before signing.

How long is the walk from Penny Street to the University of Cumbria?

13 minutes on foot from the five-bedroom Penny Street house to the University of Cumbria’s Lancaster campus on Bowerham Road, LA1 3JD — our own route timing.

Does the five-bedroom Penny Street house work for Lancaster University students?

Lancaster University’s Bailrigg campus is three miles from the city centre — around 20 minutes by bike, with at least 14 buses an hour during term-time daytimes, on the university’s own published figures. The five-bedroom Penny Street house sits in the city core those buses leave from.

Is 2 bathrooms workable for 5 people?

2 bathrooms across 5 bedrooms is one between 2.5 of you at the five-bedroom Penny Street house — small-house arithmetic that works when the group agrees a morning order and falls apart when it does not.

Who gets which bedroom in the five-bedroom Penny Street house?

That is your group’s call, not ours — and the listing helps, because it describes five spacious double bedrooms, each with a double bed, wardrobe, and a desk and chair as a dedicated study station. Agree the split at the viewing while everyone can see the rooms, and put any rent difference in writing before signing.

Can we take Penny Street for less than a full year?

93a Penny Street is published as a short-term let running until June and marked available now — which is unusual for Lancaster student stock that mostly signs in full-year cycles. Confirm the current window with us on 01524 888 151 before planning around it.
