student housing – Modern Mooch

5 Glen Fern Road Bournemouth BH1 2LZ

Something of an anomaly, combining accommodation with a leisure facility.

The Outlook is ideally suited to students looking for quality, self catering, en suite accommodation in central Bournemouth, just a minute’s walk from the town’s excellent amenities.

The student accommodation has recently completed a comprehensive refurbishment, the work which included considerable redesign, new furnishings and decoration.

Why don’t you take a look at the accommodation and find out more about our excellent location.

The Outlook

Excitingly close to Oasis Fun Bournemouth’s No.1 indoor fun centre.

Want to keep the kids entertained?

Then why not visit Oasis Fun today for a fun-filled experience for the whole family. We have an amazing bowling alley with six lanes, an indoor soft play centre, large Adventure Golf course, arcades and pool tables. Oh, and we have a café serving snacks and a fully licensed bar.

Oasis Fun

Though ARC Architecture have other plans for the site.

As of May 2026 the car park and Outlook were still very much in use.

I’ve been here before, virtually – in my online guide to Park Hill Pubs.

I’ve been here before, actually – on my visits to Park Hill Estate

But hark, what news of the Parkway pub?

Your bold mosaic whilst once exposed, was sadly disabused, then unthinkingly covered.

Has subsequently been uncovered, steam cleaned and proudly on view, as a central part of the most recent of the estate’s phases of redevelopment.

The block is to become student housing, the distinctive tan, turquoise blue and bold red colours of the mosaic, integrated into the banding of the newly refurbished building.

My face was a picture of delight, viewing the multicoloured tesserae – as we were privileged to be guided around the site by Kier Construction, Matthew Borland from Whittam Cox Architects, who are working with Alumno on Béton House and Urban Splash – my thanks to all and particularly PR Surriya Falconer.

So here it is living and breathing the South Yorkshire air once more.
