New 1 bed apartment in Q4 Apartments, Sheffield City Centre

The six storey design picks up on the topography of the surrounding area, the adjacency of the Stephenson Blake building and the spectacular views across the Don Valley Basin. The external treatments combine a respect for the industrial heritage of the area by using traditional masonry with contemporary components, including glazed curtain walling, and timber and patinated zinc cladding.

The Upper Allen Street / Brocco Street corner has been strengthened with the use of both timber cladding and corner windows maximising the views across the valley.

The top two floors are stepped, offering terraces outside many apartments, whilst many others enjoy their own balconies. The apartments have a lift and stairs at both ends of the scheme accessed off Upper Allen Street. A modern reception area and postal room is provided alongside one of the principal entrances.

On entering your apartment you will be immediately struck by the rich, deep red Merbau flooring and the Japanese-style glass room dividers beckoning. With a swish of the hand, the well-planned double bedroom is revealed. When fully opened, the space dividers create a sense of space and optimise use.
Within the bedroom, additional glass sliding doors screen the ample fitted wardrobes featuring on one panel a wall to ceiling mirror, the reflective image from which enhances the ambience. Soft stone carpeting to the bedroom floor adds the finishing touches to this compact but carefully thought-out room. As an added bonus, the wardrobes and carpeting are included as standard.

Adjacent to the bedroom is a luxurious bathroom featuring fully-tiled walls and floor, brightly lit with recessed spot lights. A full room-width shower with frameless glass screen, trendy towel ladder radiator, Villeroy & Boch porcelain, Grohe fittings and tiled recesses with a mirrored fronted cabinet, give a full 5 star image.

Passing down the hallway and into the lounge, the wood flooring runs through to the full-height windows washing this contemporary and elegant room with light. Full or Juliet balconies are provided to most apartments. Attention to design detail oozes from the recessed kitchen; designer furniture in itself, concealing fridge, freezer, dishwasher, oven, hob and extractor.

There is more. This apartment is wired for sound and vision both in the lounge and bedroom. The hall conceals a built-in washer dryer and utility cupboard. Although the space is compact, Q4 punches well above its weight by use of efficient space planning. Its a must for the first-time buyer, city dweller and those needing an occasional city pad.
St Vincents quarter is well known for its industrial heritage, architecture and hillside setting offering panoramic views to the north west over the Don Valley.
