sheffield accomodation crewe flats

hi, i have been looking at accomodation in sheffield for next year, definitely want to stay in endcliffe but was thinking maybe shared bathrooms since it's so much cheaper - does anyone have any information about crewe flats at all as i can't find much online? or if you think any of the other shared bathroom accomodations are better? i want to live somewhere fairly social!

Hey, I've also been considering the Crewe flats for next year and here's some information I gathered:

10-4 people per flat (The building is pretty old, so the size and shape of rooms/flats is very inconsistent)
£5,486.04 - £5,862.04 (for 2024-25)
All rooms have shared bathrooms (No ensuite options)
Most rooms come with washbasins (Some rooms cant facilitate these, and thus have cheaper rent)

There are three main colour schemes for the rooms; grey, dark blue and mint green. Most the rooms in flats A-G are blue (some are green, such as D6-10). Rooms vary in size, but flats H/I are usually smaller, and M/P/S are typically larger. Flats L/K are a bit of a trek from the main entrance, which can be a pain with moving in since there are no elevators. Some flats stretch across multiple floors, whereas some are localised to just one (e.g. L, which stays on the second floor)

The Crewe flats has a small laundrette detached from the one at the Endcliffe village. There is a large garden, with a tennis court and an indoor table-tennis. A bike shed is adjacent to the end of the parking lot, but I wouldn't place bets on how safe your belongings will be. Historically, the building acted as a Warden's house meaning that there is a cellar/dungeon 👻.

The Botanical gardens are just across the road, the Edge is a 5 minute walk away and the SU is about a 20. Because the Crewe isn't at the heart of Endcliffe village, its sometimes forgotten by management and some say that it isn't as social. However, in most years the community is very strong and is just as, if not more, sociable than other residences.

Hope this helps. 👍

that’s very helpful, thank you!!
do you know anything about the living room/kitchen areas at all? was wondering if it had both a kitchen/dining area and an area with sofas like the newer flats
