Bournemouth's flagship village
Cranborne House is our largest village in Bournemouth, sitting right on the Lansdowne Campus of Bournemouth University. It is home to BU's Faculty of Health & Social Sciences.
That means an all-inclusive weekly rent covering bills, Wi-Fi, contents insurance, events programme, plus round-the-clock security and a community of around 500 residents.
It is a natural home for nursing, midwifery, physiotherapy and paramedic science students studying at Lansdowne, and for any Bournemouth University student who wants to be close to town.
Living in Bournemouth
Cranborne House sits on Bournemouth University's Lansdowne Campus, an easy walk from the town centre, rail station and beach, with Talbot Campus a short bus ride away.
From here, Bournemouth's Old Christchurch Road shops, the Triangle's nightlife and Bournemouth Station are all a short walk away. It also sits alongside Chesil House, Lyme Regis House and Okeford House, our other Bournemouth properties, so if this one is not quite the right fit, there is likely to be one nearby that is.
