A bright, newly refurbished large-style studio (approx. 441 sqft) in the Barbican, finished by Thomson Bro’s and ready to move into. The open-plan layout has built-in storage, full-height floor-to-ceiling doors to a west-facing balcony, and underfloor heating included in the service charge — practical features that suit a professional or first-time buyer seeking central city living.
The building offers strong communal benefits: lift access, 24-hour porterage, use of residents’ gardens, and excellent transport links including the Elizabeth Line and multiple Underground/rail stations within walking distance. The apartment is chain-free and has an unusually long lease (about 171 years remaining) with a peppercorn ground rent.
Buyers should note the running costs and practical limits: the service charge is relatively high (estimated £4,331 for 2025–26) and parking/bike storage are arranged separately with the City of London. The property is leasehold and located in an area with above-average crime statistics — factors to weigh for long-term budgeting and lifestyle choices.
Overall, this studio offers a turnkey, central London base with strong communal amenities and long lease security. It will appeal to buyers prioritising location, low immediate maintenance, and easy access to cultural and transport hubs, though ongoing service charges and parking arrangements should be factored into affordability calculations.
