Student Property Details

Beech Gardens, our spectacular Almero Student accommodation in the leafy suburb of Edgbaston, is perfectly positioned for Aston University with it being just a quick 20 minutes by bus.
There are big plans for Beech Gardens as we plan for the refurbishment of all units, doubling the number of WC’s and showers, the addition of two treehouse pavilions, common rooms and modern shared kitchen and lounge facilities.
Not only will the indoors be getting a makeover, but so will the vast gardens, with plans to create eco-gardening systems for our residents to get stuck in and grow fresh produce.
