Beautifully renovated house on Coburn Street with top design

We're renowned for providing the best student houses, but this one truly sets a new standard. Architect-designed, this home offers everything from Bluetooth speakers in the makeup station to the convenience of controlling your heating remotely via the Nest thermostat.

All the usual high-end features are here too—an American-style fridge/freezer, pop-up sockets, built-in WiFi hotspots, and automatic lighting. But it goes further, with bespoke coat racks, floor-to-ceiling architectural glazing, and the latest deluxe furniture elevating your living experience.

The only downside? It might make leaving Cardiff after your degree much harder than expected.

Please note: On-street parking is restricted in Cardiff. If required, ask us about permit eligibility with Cardiff Council.

Why rent a John Win­ter house?

Quite sim­ply, I pro­vide the best hous­es and the best ser­vice at great prices.

I have built my rep­u­ta­tion by offer­ing high qual­i­ty homes for uni­ver­si­ty stu­dents for over 50 years and I strive to be the very best stu­dent hous­ing provider. I’m proud to be the only one in Cardiff with my name above the door.

My hous­es are in the most attrac­tive stu­dent loca­tions and are refur­bished to the high­est stan­dards, and because I’m not a let­ting agent — I own every house I let — my excel­lent team and I can pro­vide you the best ser­vice. Ask any of our cur­rent or for­mer ten­ants first­hand and they’ll tell you what liv­ing in a John Win­ter house is like!

I know the impor­tance of a safe, secure and com­fort­able home whilst at uni­ver­si­ty, and every­thing about my busi­ness, from the design of my hous­es to the way you’ll inter­act with my team, is focused on ensur­ing you have the best pos­si­ble expe­ri­ence of stu­dent life in Cardiff.

Don't just take our word for it

The vast majority of our tenants come to us based on recommendations from family and friends who have lived with us!

I have had three daugh­ters in Uni­ver­si­ty recent­ly — one in Bris­tol, one in Bath and one in Cardiff. Your house is the only one I am total­ly hap­py with. I only wish my oth­er two girls had been sim­i­lar­ly well housed. Thank you! Mrs Ker­shaw, Kens­ing­ton, London
Every time we have friends over we love hear­ing the same remark — ​“there’s no way this is a stu­dent house!” Mil­ly, Coburn Street
We love liv­ing in our John Win­ter house! Lau­ren, Har­ri­et Street
The team of main­te­nance men is fan­tas­tic! Prob­lems are usu­al­ly sort­ed quick­ly when we ring them. Rhi­an, Har­ri­et Street
John Win­ter are a friend­ly, accom­mo­dat­ing and pro­fes­sion­al team who have gone above and beyond for my friends and I and I could not rate them any higher. Georgina, Rhym­ney Street
Bril­liant ser­vice from John and his team. This is my first let­ting expe­ri­ence and I walked in to the office not hav­ing a clue about what to do about any­thing, but John and the team made the whole process seamless. Alex, Bruce Street
