Why postgrads choose Okeford House
Okeford House is a smaller postgraduate village in Bournemouth, set in the quieter residential suburb of Winton rather than in the thick of student nightlife.
It is an established, well-managed village, with residents consistently praising the responsiveness of the on-site team.
For postgraduates who want study focus over nightlife, that quieter setting, convenient Winton high street location and access to both campuses is the reason to choose Okeford House over Chesil, Cranborne or Lyme Regis House.
Living in Winton
Okeford House sits in Winton, a settled residential suburb of Bournemouth with its own high street, home to independent shops, cafes and a Waitrose and Lidl within a short walk.
Bus routes from Winton run quickly to Talbot Campus, Bournemouth town centre and the beach, while Westbourne, about a mile away, is worth a look for its independent shops and restaurants.
It also sits within reach of Chesil House, Cranborne House and Lyme Regis House, our other Bournemouth properties, for students who would prefer a livelier, more central setting.

Okeford House is a 20-minute walk from Talbot Campus, and Lansdowne Campus is reached by bus in 20 minutes as well. If your course is based at Lansdowne, Okeford House still works well as a quieter, residential base.
