Large House Logistics: 7–10 People

Managing a large student house in Exeter requires systems that smaller households don't need. The key areas: Bathroom access – ensure adequate count and floor distribution. Kitchen facilities – multiple fridge/freezers, enough hob space for simultaneous cooking. Cleaning rotas – rotating duties work better than fixed areas. Cost management – all-inclusive eliminates bill-splitting complexity. Browse specific sizes below for detailed guidance on each house size.

Large Student Houses in Exeter: 7+ Bedrooms

A 7+ bed student house in Exeter brings together all large student properties – everything from 7 to 10+ bedrooms in one place. If your group is flexible on exact size, browsing here gives you the widest view of large house options near the University of Exeter.

What "7+ Bed" Really Means

This page groups together large student houses in Exeter for bigger groups — typically 7, 8, 9, and 10 bedroom properties. If you're searching for a big group student house or a house for 7+ students, use this hub to compare sizes and find the best fit.

Who Lives in Large Houses?

Large houses suit established friendship groups, often finalists who've lived together before or extended social circles from sports teams and societies. With seven or more people sharing, you get vibrant communal energy, built-in social life, and significant per-person cost savings. Larger households require organisation, but groups who enjoy shared living often prefer the buzz of a bigger house to the quieter dynamics of smaller properties.

How to Choose the Right Large House

For 7+ households, communal space and bathroom setup matter more than anything. Use the campus links to shortlist locations, and consider all-inclusive pricing if you want one predictable weekly cost across a large group. All 7+ bed properties are licensed HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation), meeting enhanced safety standards including fire doors, emergency lighting, and regular safety inspections.

Property Features Across Large Houses

They typically feature multiple bathrooms (3-5+), substantial kitchens for group cooking, and generous living spaces. The larger the property, the more outdoor space you're likely to find – gardens, yards for bikes, and sometimes parking. Period features are common: high ceilings, bay windows, and original fireplaces add character to these grand Victorian buildings.

All-Inclusive vs Rent-Only for Large Groups

Gillams properties typically offer two pricing options. For groups of seven or more, all-inclusive pricing becomes particularly attractive – it bundles rent, gas, electricity, water and WiFi into one fixed weekly payment per person. No complex bill splitting, no winter heating debates, no chasing housemates for their share. Rent-only remains available for groups who prefer full control over utility providers and usage monitoring.

Finding Your Large House

Large properties are in high demand and list infrequently. Set up property alerts for your preferred size(s), and be ready to view quickly when opportunities arise. Decisive groups who can commit together secure the best large houses. Pennsylvania has the highest concentration of large properties, with proximity to Streatham Campus.
