GRASEBY HOUSE
Graseby House is a quiet Halls of Residence and
is set up for students who wish to study in a quiet relaxed environment; we tend to attract serious students, Undergrads,
Post grads/PHD and work placement residents; many have experienced noisy halls and have moved to us to continue their studies
in peace. High Barnet is a safe and respectable area with an abundance of shops and restaurants all within a few minutes’
walk. The accommodation consists of 56 single study rooms set in very large self contained flats of 8, grouped around 2 shower
rooms and 2 toilets, large kitchen/communal lounge. All areas are double glazed and centrally heated.
As many students come from abroad we have
set Graseby House up so that residents can just move in and not worry about buying equipment on arrival. All kitchens have;
Basic supplies of; Plates, pots and pans, cutlery mugs etc. We have also put in washing up liquid, toilet paper and cleaning
products. Residents must buy their own supplies after arrival. Additionally we have domestic cleaners who will clean
all communal areas – bathrooms, toilets, hall, kitchen and lounge Monday to Friday.
Each resident has a single study bedroom
with sink, single bed, bedside cabinet, double wardrobe, desk with 3 pedestal draws and 2 adjustable wall shelves and
additional under bed storage. Each bedroom is supplied with; Duvet, duvet cover, single bed sheet, and mattress cover, 2 pillows
and pillow cases. There is a TV point, FM Arial point and ample electrical sockets. (Please note residents with TV are responsible

The kitchens are fully equipped with kettle, toaster, microwave, cooker, ironing board and iron. There is a breakfast bar

phone in at cheaper rates than mobiles). There is also a BT payphone in the building. There is a laundry room on site with

The sites have electronic fob entry to their
block and flat with numbered security locks on bedroom doors. There is a intercom system to the main entrance doors –
for added security residents can speak to visitors but must go down to let them in – removing the chance of uninvited
visitors being buzzed into the building. Graseby House is located opposite the Police Station.
