Basic Info
196 Beds
Highest Floor 3
Built in 2016 · Renovated in 2016
Chapel Heights is a stylish student accommodation in Durham. The front garden of the flats is a small Chapel, hence the name of the apartments. The main road to the city centre is in front of the apartment, and a courtyard exists between the rooms and the route. Apart from enjoying the flowers and plants in the yard, there are lush trees as far as the eye can see, and the view is excellent. The back of the Chapel Heights flat is equally green. If you book early, you can also apply for a room with a balcony. If you are tired of studying, you can enjoy the view from a distance and open the window to let in some fresh air.
Features
There are five blocks of flats - Grange Wood, Black Dene, Mallygill, Rainton and Hopperwood. Although there are only three floors, they are all fitted with lifts. The Chapel Heights accommodation has 196 beds and is en-suite with private kitchens and studios. Luxurious interiors are over 18 square metres, with ample storage space, double beds and study areas. The laundry room and cable TV are available in Chapel Heights student accommodation. A wide range of shops, restaurants, supermarkets and other amenities is within walking distance.
The size of the room is divided into GOLD STUDIO and SILVER STUDIO. Some rooms have balconies, with two windows and excellent lighting. All have double beds, so you can choose one or two people without paying extra for the second person. Studio rooms are supplied with a complete set of modern kitchenware: fridge, oven, kettle, hoover, iron, dishwasher, etc. The rooms are equipped with a full range of contemporary kitchen appliances.
Chapel Heights Apartment has a courtyard. Staying indoors can be tedious and stifling. Why not try a small rest in the garden at this time? Erect an umbrella for shade, set up a lounging chair, or move a long couch under the tree. Listening to the rustle of the wind and the scent of blooming flowers creates a comfortable and satisfying life. Too hot to go out for activities? Why not invite a few good friends? Sit in your courtyard and set up a small table and a few cushions for a sit-down on the ground. A pot of tea, an afternoon, the courtyard is the perfect place to cool down and have whispered conversations.

Chapel Heights FAQs
Some Studio room types allow double occupancy, can my friend stay with me?
Yes, you need to reconfirm with the apartment whether the room type you choose allows double occupancy, and the co-resident needs to be a student.
What is the general difference between Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum room types?
The main difference is the size of the building area, but each room has the same furniture, decoration style, etc. Note: There may also be other minor differences between apartment buildings in different cities.
Can I switch if I don't like my room?
If other students cancel the room, or agree to exchange with you, you can contact the property management team of the apartment, and the staff will try their best to meet your needs. However, except for the different room types and different building areas, the configuration and facilities of each room are the same.
