Between Towns Court - Student Accommodation Oxford

Oxford's Best Kept Secret: Between Towns Court

Alright, picture this: You're a fresh-faced freshman, armed with nothing but a suitcase full of hopes, dreams, and maybe a few too many socks. You've just arrived in the city of dreaming spires, Oxford, and you're on the hunt for student accommodation. Now, I could tell you about the usual suspects - the cramped rooms, the dodgy landlords, the mysterious stains on the walls - but today, we're talking about something different. We're talking about Between Towns Court, the student accommodation that's so good, it's practically a crime.

First Impressions: The Court of Miracles

Now, I know what you're thinking. "Between Towns Court? That sounds like something out of a Harry Potter novel." And you wouldn't be wrong. This place is so magical, it makes Platform 9 ¾ look like a mere platform. But unlike Hogwarts, you don't need a letter from a owl to get in. All you need is a student ID and a healthy dose of disbelief.

Let's start with the location. Between Towns Court is nestled between, well, two towns. On one side, you've got Headington, a bustling little village with more cafes than you can shake a stick at. On the other, you've got Oxford, the city that needs no introduction. It's like having your cake and eating it too, except instead of cake, it's student life. And instead of eating it, you're living it.

Rooms So Nice, You'll Never Want to Leave

Now, let's talk about the rooms. They're not just rooms, they're sanctuaries. Each one comes with its own en-suite bathroom, a kitchenette, and more storage space than you'll know what to do with. It's like they knew you were planning to bring your entire wardrobe, just in case the British weather decides to throw a surprise party.

But the pièce de résistance? The pièce de résistance is the view. Some rooms look out over the rolling hills of Headington. Others gaze down upon the city of Oxford. It's like living in a postcard. Just remember to close your curtains before you do your victory dance after acing an exam. The neighbors don't need to know about your celebratory moves.

Facilities: The Court of Wonders

Between Towns Court isn't just about the rooms, though. No, no, no. This place is packed with facilities that'll make you feel like you're living in a five-star hotel. There's a gym, for when you need to work off all that leftover pizza. There's a common room, for when you need to work off all that leftover stress. And there's even a study room, for when you need to work off all that leftover procrastination.

But the real cherry on top of this sundae of student accommodation is the courtyard. It's like something out of a medieval fairytale, with its cobblestone paths and twinkling fairy lights. It's the perfect place to sit, sip a cup of tea (or something stronger, we don't judge), and watch the world go by. Just don't be surprised if you find yourself daydreaming about becoming a knight and rescuing a damsel in distress. It happens to the best of us.

Surprising Facts: The Court of Mysteries

Now, here's where things get interesting. Between Towns Court is no ordinary student accommodation. Oh no, it's got a secret. Or rather, it's got several. For starters, did you know that this place was once a hospital? It's true! The building dates back to the 19th century and was originally built as a workhouse infirmary. Spooky, right? But don't worry, they've since exorcised the place (or at least, they say they have).

But that's not all. Between Towns Court is also home to a rather unusual piece of art. Hidden away in one of the corridors is a mural painted by none other than the famous artist, Banksy. Yes, that Banksy. It's a bit like finding a Picasso in your local charity shop. Except, you know, less likely to happen.

Community: The Court of Friends

But perhaps the most surprising thing about Between Towns Court is the community. You might think that a place this fancy would be full of stuck-up snobs, but you'd be wrong. Dead wrong. The residents here are some of the friendliest, most welcoming people you'll ever meet. It's like living in a big, happy family. A family that occasionally argues over who used the last of the milk, but a family nonetheless.

And that, my friends, is the story of Between Towns Court. It's not just student accommodation, it's a home. A home with a past, a home with a present, and a home with a future. It's the kind of place that'll make your university experience one you'll never forget. Just don't tell the other students. We want to keep it our little secret.
