KNIGHT KNOX
INTRODUCING
Kiln House is a student accommodation development in the heart of Staffordshire in Stoke-on-Trent. Consisting of 95 studio and 2-bedroom student apartments, this new-build development completed in 2018 and has been extremely popular with those studying in the area ever since. The development is within walking distance of Staffordshire University and is located close to local bus routes to both Keele University and Hanley city centre. In addition to the excellent location, tenants will also benefit from first-class facilities at the development, including a gym, laundry room, communal area, a games room with a pool table and a deluxe rooftop lounge. Kiln House is the only privately run, university approved purpose-built student accommodation in the area. The development is managed by the University of Staffordshire’s Student Union’s lettings company, Greenpad, and as a result there are no stamp duty charges for investors. There is a huge shortage of high-quality student accommodation in Staffordshire, and Kiln House provides first class, university approved student living in the heart of the region.
