JJ Thomson Mews

Bills included. Deposit = zero. Cleaning sorted.

Heritage bones, student buzz.

Modern. Bright. Right in the middle of it all. 1 JJ Thomson Mews is a four-storey townhouse built for proper student living — five big doubles, two clean bathrooms, and loads of natural light throughout.

The kitchen-diner opens straight out to a private garden for easy summer hangouts, and there’s a separate lounge that’s made for movie nights or pre-drinks. You’ve even got off-road parking — rare for Fallowfield.

Do you have questions?

Here you will find answers to the most common questions about our spaces, services, and bookings.

How do I reserve a home?

Yes — washer, dryer, or combo in every home.

Is there bike storage?

What if a housemate leaves?

Someone who guarantees your rent — standard for student lets.

What if I don’t have a guarantor?

You can pay the full year’s rent upfront.

What makes Student Shack different?
