Ashby Road
Ashby Road is one of the main routes running through Loughborough, making it a popular location for students who want easy access to both university life and the town centre. Running alongside the western edge of the university campus, it offers a convenient walk to lectures, the Students’ Union and sports facilities, while the town centre is also within easy reach.
The area has a great selection of cafés, takeaways, convenience stores and supermarkets, making everyday essentials easy to access without travelling far. Regular bus services also run along Ashby Road, providing connections across Loughborough and to surrounding areas.
Although it borders the lively Golden Triangle student area, Ashby Road has a slightly more relaxed atmosphere with a wider variety of property types. Students can find everything from traditional terraced houses to larger shared homes, often with more outdoor space and parking than properties closer to the town centre. This balance of convenience, amenities and a quieter residential feel makes Ashby Road an excellent choice for students who want to stay close to campus while enjoying a little more space.
