The Croft

"I've lived at the croft for 7 months now, the staff are lovely and respond quickly, keep parcels safe and in amazing condition at reception. Security is helpful and kind, rooms are giant and a lot cheaper than accommodation from the uni. 10/10"

Premium Location for Study and Social Life
The Croft puts you at the centre of Derby student life, with all four University of Derby campuses within easy reach. Most students reach their lectures within 15-20 minutes by bus or a pleasant walk.

Beyond campus, you're just minutes from Derby city centre's shops and restaurants, the vibrant nightlife district, and peaceful green spaces like Markeaton Park. Regular bus routes connect all key locations, making exploration of the city effortless during your time here.

Our shared spaces are designed to help you build connections and make Derby feel like home. The dedicated study room provides a perfect spot for group projects or quiet focus, while our social lounge offers comfortable seating for relaxing or catching up with friends.

After a workout? Our on-site gym is popular and convenient for workouts, and the games area has become a social hub where you challenge each other to pool and foosball tournaments.

When the weather's good, our outdoor courtyard transforms into a popular spot for study breaks and socialising.
Practical Amenities That Matter
We've thought about the everyday essentials that make student life smoother. High-speed WiFi (100Mbps+*) covers the entire building, ensuring you're always connected for studies or entertainment.

The modern laundry facilities are accessible 24/7, fitting around your schedule, not the other way around. Our front desk and security team are available around the clock, giving you and your family peace of mind.

All utilities come included in your rent, with no surprise costs to worry about, and our team regularly organises social events to help you connect with other residents!
Rooms Designed for Student Life
Whether you choose an en-suite room or a studio, we've designed each space with students in mind. Comfortable beds with quality mattresses ensure you get the rest you need, while dedicated study areas with desks and ergonomic chairs support your academic success and your back.

Ample storage helps keep your space organised, and private bathroom facilities come standard in all room types. Many of our residents love the shared kitchen and living areas in our cluster flats, which naturally become social spaces where lasting friendships form over shared meals and movie nights.

The Croft isn't just accommodation, it's a community where friendships form, study habits develop, and unforgettable student experiences happen!
