Guide-priced at £150,000, this compact one-bedroom apartment occupies approximately 328 sq ft within Sentinel House, a modern city-centre building. The apartment is offered furnished with an open-plan kitchen/living area, a shower room and a double bedroom — a straightforward, low-maintenance layout suited to rental use or a first-step on the ladder.
Building amenities include a concierge service and an on-site residents’ gym, which add convenience and appeal for short-term lets or tenants seeking communal facilities. The property benefits from a long lease (about 120 years remaining), standard ceiling heights and integrated kitchen appliances, reducing immediate refurbishment costs.
Important considerations: the flat is very small and has no private external space. The surrounding neighbourhood records very high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which will affect tenant demand and resale values. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow — a potential drawback for working-from-home tenants.
This apartment suits investors seeking a low-upkeep, centrally located rental or buyers prioritising proximity to city amenities and transport links over space and tranquillity. An internal viewing will show how efficiently the layout is used, but buyers should weigh the area’s social challenges and connectivity limits when assessing long-term value.
