Brass Founders

Your student accommodation is ideally placed for exploring the city on weekends. Start your Saturday with a gluten-free vegan brunch at trendy café Pure on Raw, then spend an hour or two admiring the famous Sheffield metalwork collection at Millennium Gallery. In the afternoon, learn the secrets of craft beer production with a tour of Kelham Island Brewery; or make the most of warm summer days with a picnic in The Ponderosa park. When you feel like a night out with friends, Fagan’s bar offers traditional food, ale and live music, while The Lyceum theatre is your go-to for plays and musicals.

Whether you choose a private room or a studio at Brass Founders, utilities and contents insurance are included in your rent. You’re a 15-minute walk from Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Sheffield, and a two-minute walk from the nearest bus stop. If you’re keen to cut down on costs, keep a bike in the safe storage instead. On weekends, seek the tropical colour of the Sheffield Winter Garden greenhouses; or explore the Devonshire Quarter’s indie cafés and boutiques.

When you get home, hang your coat up in the mirrored wardrobe, then curl up for a snooze on your small double bed or head to the kitchen for something to eat. Later, retrieve your books from the under-bed storage and use the 250 MB broadband to research a paper at your study desk. The property’s quiet study zone is the perfect place for brainstorming a group assignment, while the on-site gym allows you to clear your head with a session on the treadmill when you’re done.

After your workout, throw your clothes into the washer/ dryer before showering in your ensuite bathroom. In summer, a large garden awaits with all-weather ping-pong tables and barbecue grills; while the entertainment area is perfect for cosy winter nights in. Challenge your friends to a game of pool, or watch a series on the large TV. On Fridays, celebrate the weekend with American-style burgers and fried chicken at favourite local eatery Lucky Fox, then head home for movies in the cinema room.
