Students will dig Edmund Court living

Stylish student living is taking top marks at Edmund Court, house builder Gladedale's affordable apartment development in Sheffield city centre. For those not satisfied with the traditional student accommodation's fusty smells, coin operated electricity and dodgy décor, today's students have been choosing the popular riverside development whose location is second to none for the student population.

Sheffield's range of shops, cosmopolitan restaurants, bars and nightlife nearby are another huge draw for the 60,000 students that choose to study at the one of the city's two universities.

Sheffield is known as a lively city with lots of events, gigs, sports and festivals. Edmund Court has great transport links to other parts of the city and fashionable Ecclesall Road and London Road are close by, offering an array of café bars, international restaurants and boutique shops.

But Sheffield is not only about the nightlife, there are a huge variety of options for sporty and outdoors types. Ponds Forge, Don Valley Stadium, The Hallam FM Arena and ICE Sheffield are some of the best in the country. For spectators, Bramall Lane Football Ground is adjacent to the development. Only five miles out of the city is the beautiful Peak District with its stunning scenery, quaint villages and an array of leisure pursuits.

The location at Edmund Court is equally ideal for the commute to Sheffield's two universities or main hospitals. The train station is one mile away with regular train services to regional and national towns and cities, and for those with vehicles, the development offers allocated secure parking.

Steve Rider, sales director of Gladedale South Yorkshire said: "These stylishly practical properties are on offer with great incentives for parents about to send their children to university. Many parents are now opting to purchase a property rather than spend thousands on a rental property over several years when their child moves away from home to study.

"Many students opt to stay in Sheffield to work after their studies are completed and Edmund Court's contemporary and spacious apartments would also serve well as a first home for young professionals.

"Despite the slowdown in the property market, Edmund court properties are continuing to sell well, with many buyers also seeing the buy to let potential in these particular apartments from among a thriving young population."

The sales office at Edmund Court is open daily from 11am to 5pm. For further information log on to Gladedale.com.
