Built in 2020

The Toybox is a stylish Birmingham student accommodation located near Five Ways train station, with quick access to Aston University and Birmingham City University via public transport. Nearby is the Fiveways Entertainment Centre, a renowned entertainment venue for Birmingham's student population. The flat offers 290 rooms in both En-suite and Studio styles, with private bathrooms and amenities to help students settle into their new surroundings quickly. The flats have 24-hour security and a reception desk for students' safety.

 

Features

The Toybox offers 4 types of Studio and 6 types of En-suite rooms to suit the needs of students, with the En-suite offering separate bedrooms and bathrooms. In contrast, the shared kitchen and living room can be used as a space for roommates to socialise and learn from each other. At the same time, the Studio is more suited to those who prefer to be on their own, with a separate kitchen and living area and the freedom to enjoy a completely private living environment. In addition to the cosy rooms, the student accommodation has plenty of facilities in the communal areas. Quiet study rooms are perfect for students who prefer to revise alone, while those who like to exercise can burn off energy in the gym. And remember to check the website often for the cinema room schedule. If you find it too stuffy indoors, you can relax by walking in the courtyard.

 

Location and What's Hot? 

The Toybox is located southwest of Birmingham City Centre, close to the Fiveways Entertainment Centre and within a 10-minute walk of leading supermarkets such as Tesco, Morrisons, and Sainsbury's. There's Del Villaggio, Nando's and Five Guys to choose from when it comes to eating out.

 

Even if you're away from the city centre, there's plenty of entertainment around The Toybox Birmingham. Cineworld Cinema and Grand Escape are a 6-minute walk away, the famous LEGOLAND Discovery Centre and National SEA LIFE Centre are a 16-minute walk away, and for those who like nature, Five Ways Community Park, Sunset Park and Peacock Park are just a few minutes away.

 

Transport

The Toybox is just downstairs from the Five Ways Station bus stop, making it easy for students to get around the city quickly. Birmingham Metropolitan College Matthew Boulton Campus and Aston University are 14 minutes away by bus. University College Birmingham is 16 minutes by bus, and the University of Birmingham is 20 minutes; Newman University is further away and is 36 minutes by bus. If you travel to another city, Five Ways train station is a 5-minute away.

Cancellations
We work on a 72 hour "cooling off" period for bookings made up to the 31st July. This means that should you need to, you can cancel your booking within 72 hours of signing your tenancy agreement, as long as you have not yet moved in.

To cancel your booking, please email the Residence Team and you will then be refunded your advance rent contribution payment and your booking will be cancelled.

From the 1st August the "cooling off" period is reduced to 24 hours. Once the "cooling off" period has expired, you can cancel your booking if:

- Your UK visa has been refused
- You have not made the grades to study at your chosen university
- You have failed a year of study and are not able to continue studying at your university

In these circumstances, we will allow you to cancel your booking prior to the tenancy start date. Please send your UCAS notification/Visa refusal documentation to the Residence Team within 72 hours of receiving it.

There are no other circumstances when we will accept a request for a cancellation either before or during the tenancy.

It may be possible with the Landlord's agreement to transfer your obligations to someone else who is eligible to live at the property. There is no obligation on our part to find you a replacement tenant. If you find a replacement tenant we will need to run some basic checks to confirm their eligibility to take over the tenancy. Before we will accept a new tenant, your account and all obligations need to be up to date and any rent due up to the changeover will need to be paid. Once the new resident has signed the tenancy agreement and made the first rent payment they will take responsibility for future rent payments and all other obligations as stated in the agreement.
