With a thriving music scene, an abundance of events, an eclectic cultural calendar and an ever-growing food and drink sector, we can safely say that life in Leeds is never dull.
Read our guide to LeedsJoseph Stones House is situated directly above the conservatoire's St Peter's Square building and offers private bathrooms to all rooms.
We allocate 152 study bedrooms in this building, all with en-suite facilities, clustered in flats with shared kitchen and living spaces. There are a small number of studios for students who’d prefer to live alone.
It is managed by Unite Students.
We are expecting some work to be carried out to the external facade of this property between 8AM and 6PM Monday to Friday. There will be some low noise disruption during working hours, and scaffolding on site. Unite Students will communicate notice of these works to all residents ahead of the work starting. This is in addition to the ongoing construction near Joseph Stones House which may impact some residents.
