Pottering Around Portsmouth

There is plenty to do in Portsmouth city centre. The Spinnaker Tower offers panoramic views over the city, giving you the chance to spot your next adventure from a unique perspective. The tower is close to Old Portsmouth, where you can find historic attractions and explore old dock buildings and museums, before a stroll along Southsea promenade.

  • Catherine House

    Catherine House is right in the middle of the city centre, so it’s perfect if you want to be within easy reach of all Portsmouth has to offer, including bars, restaurants and entertainment.

    The main University of Portsmouth campus is a seven-minute walk at the most, making your commute super-easy. Portsmouth & Southsea railway station is literally next door, Victoria Park (the oldest green space in the city) is just over the road, the Cascades Shopping Centre and Tesco Superstore are each about two minutes’ walk away. Student accommodation in Portsmouth (or anywhere, for that matter!) doesn’t get better than this.

Our Spaces

Catherine House is our student accommodation in Portsmouth - right in the middle of the city centre, so it’s perfect if you want to be within easy reach of everything. With en suite rooms giving you the chance to share a flat with four to six other people, to various sizes of studio flats to suit different space needs, we have a range of options to match your budget and requirements.

Our one-bed flats are among the best student housing in Portsmouth - just wait until you see the incredible views. We have a limited number of these available and they always sell out quickly, so you will have to let us know fast if you’re interested in this type of room. We even have penthouse studio apartments available, offering a much more luxurious experience than just your basic student halls.
