Lincoln student creates the ‘ultimate’ university digs

These lucky students have become the envy of their university after splashing out £1,000 to buy their own hot tub.

While the front of the property looks like an average terraced house which are inhabited by undergraduates up and down the country, the garden has been transformed into a post-study paradise by Henry Debenham.

The 21-year-old former University of Lincoln student has fully fitted out his back garden with decking and astroturf, along with floor lighting and fairy lights dangling above the water.

Mr Debenham, who shares the property with his friends Rhiannon Corbett, 20, Steph Ball, 21, and Jessica Wrightson, 20, also bought a barbecue as one of the finishing touches for the ultimate student home. 

The former student, who graduated from a business degree this summer, got his inspiration after transforming his last accommodation into a beer garden.

The house is so popular that it was snapped up within an hour of going on the letting website. 

Mr Debenham said: ‘The idea was just to make a dream place to hang out. We wanted the ultimate student house.

‘My friends and I had actually thought about the hot tub last year and almost got as far as installing it, but we chickened out at the last minute because we were worried about the running costs.

‘As it turns out, they’re really not that high, and everyone loves it. We’re in it almost every evening.

‘It looks its best at night when it’s all lit up from the floor and above. It looks really cool.

‘The whole space is about as far away from library as you can get which is what makes it perfect.’

The entrepreneurial student moved into the house in the summer and soon set about transforming the back garden from a gravelled children’s play area to a swanky student version.

He said he now has plans to house a projector in the shed so the housemates can watch movies and TV shows.    

Mr Debenham added: ‘It took several weeks to overhaul it and the work is still ongoing’ 

‘We’re doing up the inside of the house as well to make it as nice as possible, and have plans to use the double garage as a party room or a games room. We could do anything really.

‘As students people still deserve a stylish place to live but it’s got to be a little bit different.

‘The atmosphere in the house is really great because of the time housemates get to spend together.

‘There was once a small argument about who used the last loo roll, but to stop that we went out and bought an entire year’s supply.’

Mr Debenham has now set up his own student housing company in Lincoln and is hoping to provide more quriky student houses if the hottub continues to be a success.
