At the heart of Rushford Court lies a fully-restored Victorian building, with spacious bedrooms that benefit from high ceilings and larger-than-average floor space. Two brand new accommodation blocks complete the state-of-the-art living areas.
With a free on-site gym, cinema room, secure bike storage, and games areas, Rushford Court is the ideal choice for student accommodation in Durham.
Rushford Court is situated five minutes’ walk from Durham train and bus stations, and a free bus connects you to all Durham University campuses. You can walk to the shops, bars, restaurants, and culture of Durham city centre in just 15 minutes.
The spectacular 100ft-high railway viaduct runs right in front of the property. And just behind, the woodlands of Flass Vale nature reserve provide an idyllic setting for a break from study.
