Are you looking for student accommodation in Falmouth for the remainder of this academic year (2009-10) or for 2010-11 – have you considered Maritime Studios?

Maritime Studios provides 145 high quality individual studios for students who are studying in and around Falmouth.  Security is important as is the opportunity to socialise out of college and university, and here at Maritime Studios we offer excellent facilities for both.

Completed in October 2008, Maritime Studios is known in the student community  for its friendly, relaxed atmosphere, coupled with stunning views – particularly from the triple aspect penthouse common room where there are views over sea, town and harbour.  Situated adjacent to Falmouth Docks railway station (branch line to Truro) and with “First” buses stopping at the end of the road (Pendennis Rise) there are good public transport links to the campus at Tremough, and it is within a few minutes walking distance of both the campus at Wood Lane and the Marine College.

The Ships and Castles swimming pool and leisure centre is within a short walk, Ocean Bowl 10 pin bowling centre is close by, and Falmouth town centre offers a variety of pubs, clubs and student focused outlets as well as a range of local and national shops.

The concept and ethos of Maritime Studios is to provide those students who want their own space and privacy within a well designed and equipped studio in a secure building.  Each studio has a living room/bedroom, with double bed, built in wardrobes, and desk; a well equipped kitchen area, including a washer/dryer, and a shower room/w.c.  There is a private balcony for each studio and a ‘building-wide’ broadband connection plus television and satellite connections.

For security, Maritime Studios has a building manager, on duty Monday to Friday, a live-in caretaker, secure controlled access to the building and individually locked studio front doors, CCTV cover and security personnel on duty 2 evenings a week.

In addition to the studios, there are 2 common rooms – each broadband wireless enabled. The ground floor reception/ common room has individual locked post-boxes for each studio, a plasma screen, pool table, vending machine and sofas; whilst the penthouse common room has a television screen with games console connections and relaxing seating and tables.  There are also a limited number of secure stores and car parking bays (each available for rent on a first come - first served basis) and a number of cycle racks.

There are a limited number of vacant studios still available for immediate occupation in this prestigious building, which can be offered with a discounted rent, for a limited period only.

Common Room

An exciting 6 storey student community of 145 high quality self contained individual studio apartments.

Each studio has living room/bedroom, shower room/wc, well equipped kitchen area and balcony, broad band internet connection. Half of the studios as well as the common areas feature sea views of Falmouth Harbour.

Students move in for the next academic year – September 2009

Maritime Studios provides a safe and sociable modern environment with the secure controlled access to the building, a manager/caretaker and CCTV.

Other facilities include a lift to all floors, a ‘penthouse’ common room with a plasma screen, a vending machine and a relaxing seating area, which like many of the studios take advantage of views across the harbour to the sea and the town.  There is also a ground floor Common Room with plasma screen and Blue Ray DVD player, pool table and vending machines.

Some apartments are privately owned - please find out about the great investment opportunity that these represent.  Others will become available for student rental this summer as one group of students complete their time at Falmouth, and a new year arrives.  And the remainder of the Studios will contain students from this year, moving from the 2nd to the 3rd year of their degree courses at Falmouth.

Fresh Flurry of Interest in Five Star Student Apartments

A guaranteed minimum return of five per cent per annum has underlined the investment value of Cornwall’s first purpose-built student accommodation off campus and reinforced hopes of a sustained recovery in the property market.

The guarantee, for the first 24 months of ownership, is being offered by Devington Homes in respect of its six-storey Maritime Studios development near Falmouth Docks, where 145 studio apartments were completed last year with “five star student living standards.”

The move has prompted a flurry of fresh interest in the development, which offers year-round rentals from a student population that is mushrooming in line with the fast-growing Combined Universities in Cornwall.

September 2008 - First Students Move Into 'Five Star' New Homes

Emily Davis, 20, the first student to move into the Maritime Studios at Falmouth, with Julia Tibbett, and Lawrence Butler, Devington Homes managing director.
A new mini-community has sprung to life in Falmouth with completion of the “Maritime Studios” new homes scheme close to Falmouth Docks, with all 145 studio apartments now occupied by students at the start of their academic year.

The striking new six-storey building on the Falmouth skyline is one of the area’s first purpose-built complexes designed to meet the dramatically increased need for quality student accommodation with the major expansion of the Combined Universities of Cornwall.

A VIP opening ceremony was held  in October, but in the meantime it’s all systems go with developer Lawrence Butler hailing “a textbook triumph, with Maritime Studios finished on time, on budget and now very much home to a great many happy students.”
