Headingley, Leeds
Hestia is a small student property business based in Headingley and owned by Scott & Rob. We provide good quality housing for students at any of the Leeds universities.
Having studied and lived together for four years ourselves, we know how important a student house is. A place to call home, a place to study, and a place to socialise. We're focused on creating inviting, bright and safe places to live, and on being present and responsive.
We use a letting agent to help with viewings, tenancy documents and immediate issues, but we're always open to feedback or queries, and we want to give you the best experience we can.

The landlords
We met as engineering students and lived together all four years of university. Since then we’ve set up two businesses together, one of them Hestia. We were lucky enough to live in some great student houses, a five-bed and a seven-bed, so we know how much a good place to live matters. Some of our most cherished memories were formed in those houses, with housemates who are still our closest friends.
What really matters to us is a high-quality, practical, spacious communal area, especially the kitchen. It’s the hub of the house. Whether your housemates are already your closest friends or not, you’ll certainly run into each other at dinner time, and cooking and eating together is one of the best ways to build those relationships. That’s something we loved doing as a group, which is why we’ve carried out extensive renovations of the kitchen and living area in both houses, moving load-bearing walls in each case, to create a more sociable, open-plan space we’d actually enjoy cooking, eating, drinking and relaxing in.
Headingley
Both houses are in the centre of Headingley. Otley Road is a few minutes’ walk, with the pubs, restaurants and shops students actually use. Beckett’s campus is about ten minutes on foot, and the bus into the University of Leeds is straightforward.
The Original Oak and the Skyrack are the two big pubs, a few minutes’ walk. North Lane is the stretch for restaurants and smaller bars, and there are plenty of takeaways and shops. The Otley Run comes through here too.
A short walk to Leeds Beckett’s Headingley campus, and a straightforward bus or bike into the University of Leeds.
Headingley Stadium is around the corner, and Hyde Park is a short walk. The houses are on side streets, so you can get to Otley Road without living on it.
