Summary - Blake Tower, Fann Street, EC2Y EC2Y 8AF
4 bed 3 bath Penthouse
Spacious Grade II listed penthouse with vast terraces and sweeping London views.
Four-bedroom duplex penthouse with 2,398 sq.ft of flexible accommodation
An exceptional duplex penthouse occupying the top two floors of Blake Tower, offering 2,398 sq.ft of flexible living with expansive terraces and panoramic London skyline views. The apartment combines generous entertaining space, a double‑height principal suite with skylights, a second double‑height room currently used as an office/cinema, and abundant built‑in storage. Day porter service and excellent mobile/broadband make it well suited to a modern central London lifestyle.
The layout is versatile: a large reception with dining and seating zones, a high‑spec semi open plan kitchen, three further bedrooms and utility space on the lower level, with the principal suite and two large terraces above. The property benefits from double glazing (installed post‑2002), ample roof terraces facing southwest, and proximity to the Barbican Centre, Farringdon and Barbican stations and Whitecross Street amenities.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building is Grade II listed which can complicate alterations and approvals; the apartment is leasehold with approximately 141 years remaining; parking is available to rent within the estate rather than guaranteed; and council tax is described as very expensive. Heating is via a community mains gas scheme, and the building dates from the late 1960s.
This is a rare central London home for a buyer who values dramatic space, terraces and cultural proximity over private freehold ownership or straightforward renovation. It will suit those seeking a design‑led, statement residence with city vistas and strong lifestyle amenities close at hand.
