Hi! What are the recommendations for the flats in endcliffe? I don’t want one too noisy as I love my sleep but don’t want to be too excluded. What are the beds and en-suites like too?

Hey!
If you are looking for ensuites, most of the flats look the same as they were built in blocks at the same time and have all been recently renovated. There are virtual tours of the rooms and pictures, I'll add the link at the bottom!
In terms of noise level, generally the further away you are from The Edge, the quieter it is (map link at the end of the post). Wherever you are, you are unlikely to be excluded as there are always adjacent flats, so you'll find someone you get along with nearby even if you don't find it in your flat. I would also have a look at Ranmoor because that is generally a bit quieter but still has a lot going on. The reality is, how noisy the flat is depends on the people living there, which varies year by year. I also love my sleep and am I light sleeper, and in first year, I ended up right opposite The Edge. I invested in a good sleep mask and ear plugs, but actually it wasn't a problem in the end. I would also recommend getting a higher up flat, because you can't hear people chatting as they walk past!
