Overview & Location
Dwell Weston Court is a student accommodation property located at 45 Cromwell Range in Fallowfield, Manchester. Fallowfield is a well‑known student neighbourhood about a mile and a half south of the city centre, with frequent bus services connecting it to the main university campuses and the city centre. The building sits in a residential street lined with similar purpose‑built student housing and traditional Victorian terraces converted into shared houses.
The property is listed as “Dwell Weston Court” and the description states it is a “cheap student accommodation in Manchester, starting from £149/week”. According to the current data, the weekly rent ranges from £154 to £159 — note that this is an indicative range and should be confirmed with the operator. The price includes all bills (gas, electricity, water, internet, contents insurance). Fallowfield has a high concentration of student amenities: supermarkets, takeaways, laundrettes, and a few pubs are all within a short walk.
Who This Residence Suits
Budget‑conscious students who want a straightforward, no‑frills place to live will find Dwell Weston Court worth considering. At £154–£159 per week inclusive of bills, it sits below the typical asking rent for many newer purpose‑built blocks in the city centre. The city‑wide from‑price for student accommodation in Manchester is £132/week (indicative — confirm with the operator), so Dwell Weston Court is only about £22–£27 above the cheapest option available in the market. For the convenience of all‑inclusive bills and a managed property, this gap is relatively small.
Students who prioritise location near Fallowfield’s social scene will also be well placed. Fallowfield is known for its student nightlife, with several bars and clubs along Wilmslow Road. The Curry Mile is a short bus ride away, and the city centre can be reached in 15–20 minutes by bus.
First‑year undergraduates looking for a simple booking process may prefer purpose‑built accommodation like this over a private rented house, because some of the common pitfalls (finding housemates, setting up utility accounts, arranging broadband) are handled automatically.
Who This Residence Doesn’t Suit
Students who need a very short commute to certain university buildings should check the exact location. While Fallowfield is popular, some lecture theatres and labs at the city’s main campuses are a 30‑ to 40‑minute walk away. If you have early morning classes or prefer a shorter journey, a city‑centre property might be more convenient, although it will likely cost more.
Those looking for modern amenities or on‑site gyms, study rooms, or social spaces may be disappointed. Dwell Weston Court is described as a “cheap” accommodation — the property description does not mention any on‑site facilities beyond standard room amenities. If you want a cinema room, a gym, or a common room, you will need to look at higher‑priced blocks.
Students who want a specific room type (e.g., a studio with private kitchen) should verify the room configurations before booking. The data does not specify unit types, but Fallowfield’s older purpose‑built blocks typically offer cluster flats with shared kitchens and living areas (en‑suite bedrooms) rather than studios. If you prefer complete privacy, a studio or one‑bedroom flat elsewhere may be a better fit.
Price Positioning in Manchester
Manchester’s student housing market is one of the most competitive in the UK. The city’s weekly from‑price across all listed properties is £132/week (indicative — confirm with the operator). At £154–£159/week, Dwell Weston Court is about 17–20% above the cheapest option in the city. However, the cheapest option often comes with trade‑offs: smaller room size, longer lease commitments, or location outside the core student corridor.
The £154–£159 bracket places Dwell Weston Court in the lower‑mid segment. For comparison, many modern city‑centre studios start around £200/week and can go above £250/week. By choosing Dwell Weston Court, a student could save roughly £40–£90 per week compared to those options, which adds up to more than £2,000 over a 51‑week tenancy.
Because the price includes all bills, there are no surprise charges for winter heating or summer term air conditioning. That said, the “all bills included” policy is now standard across most UK student accommodation, so it is not a unique selling point — but it does simplify budgeting.
Room Type Guidance
The available data does not list specific room types for Dwell Weston Court. Based on typical configurations in Fallowfield’s older purpose‑built blocks, the building likely offers en‑suite bedrooms in cluster flats (sharing a kitchen and living area with 4–8 other students) and possibly standard non‑en‑suite rooms (shared bathroom and kitchen). Without a confirmed room‑type list, it is advisable to check the property’s current availability filter to see exactly what is on offer.
A common breakdown in this price bracket:
- Standard room (shared bathroom/kitchen) — usually the cheapest option, often around £140–£150/week, but not confirmed here.
- En‑suite room (shared kitchen) — likely the main offering at £154–£159/week, giving you a private shower room while sharing the kitchen and living area.
If you need a studio, you will probably have to look elsewhere in Manchester at a higher price point.
Booking Timing
Student accommodation in Manchester typically opens for applications in October–December for the following academic year (2026/27 bookings, for example, are likely to start opening from October 2025). By February or March, the most sought‑after properties under £160/week in Fallowfield often become fully booked.
Dwell Weston Court is priced at the lower end, so demand could be high. To secure a room, you should:
- Start researching in the autumn before your intended start date.
- Be prepared to book as soon as the property is released (many operators offer early‑bird discounts — though this is not confirmed for this property).
- If you are applying late (summer of 2026), check the availability directly, as there are often last‑minute cancellations.
No specific available‑from date is given in the data, so the above is general guidance for the Manchester market.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are all bills included in the rent?
Yes. The property description states “All bills are included”. This typically covers electricity, gas, water, internet, and basic contents insurance. Confirm the exact coverage with the operator, as some providers exclude TV licences or premium broadband.
What is the lease length for Dwell Weston Court?
The data does not specify a minimum lease length. Most student accommodation in Manchester offers either 51‑week (full academic year) or 44‑week (three terms) tenancies. When you enquire, be sure to ask about the exact contract term.
Is there a deposit required?
