A purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) investment opportunity located half a mile from the University of West England’s Frenchay Campus has been launched.
Located on Long Down Avenue in Cheswick Village, the scheme is among a limited number of privately operated student accommodation assets within immediate walking distance of the university.
Marketed by the CBRE capital markets team, the scheme is projected to generate annual rental income of approximately £677,000 for the 2026/27 academic year, with potential for additional income from ancillary services.
Cheswick Campus comprises 50 student bedspaces, including 36 self‑contained studios and 14 cluster bedrooms.
The accommodation mix is designed to appeal to a broad range of students, including postgraduates and international students, with an emphasis on self‑contained living.
Nick Reed, director of capital markets at CBRE South West, said: “Bristol remains one of the most supply‑constrained student markets in the UK, and that pressure is particularly acute around the UWE Frenchay Campus.
“Demand continues to significantly outstrip the availability of well‑located, purpose‑built accommodation, which is why schemes within walking distance of campus are increasingly hard to replicate.”
The investment opportunity is fully managed and offers investors exposure to a sector underpinned by long‑term structural demand.
There is also potential for a future nomination agreement with UWE, subject to agreement.
