View AllFounded in 1839, the historic University of Chester is among the northwest’s most respected and revered educational institutions.
As a public university, it supplies thousands of students each year with undergraduate and graduate courses, and has several campuses located around the city, including Parkgate Road.
Fantastic amenities can be found here, including a sports area, science labs, fitness centre, bar, bookshop, bank and swimming pool.
Just a stone’s throw away from the coveted campus is the Upper Canal Basin, which, understandably, has become a firm favourite for students seeking excellent accommodation.
Upper Canal Basin accommodation
Upper Canal Basin’s key student areas include Cheyney Road, Gladstone Road, Sydney Road and Granville Road.
With stunning Victorian terraces and peaceful tree-lined streets, Upper Canal Basin is an attractive urban hub in the city. Students can seek out rooms in period properties sited on Granville Road, or enjoy modern accommodation on Sydney Road, where contemporary buildings have been refreshed and refurbished for student living and afford tranquil views of Chester Canal.
