A rare, spacious one-bedroom in the Barbican, this split-level flat delivers dramatic west-facing views, generous room proportions and private outdoor space. At 866 sq ft the layout feels more like a small house than a typical city flat, with a large reception, very spacious bedroom, balcony and a large terrace shared with one other flat. The property sits on the 6th floor with lift access and is offered chain-free.
Buyers should note material constraints that affect finance and future works. The flat is in a Grade II listed development, which restricts external and some internal changes. The lease has about 80 years remaining — lenders may refuse mortgages or require specialist underwriting. EPC rating F and electric room heaters mean energy costs could be higher than average.
Service commitments are significant: an above-average service charge (approx. 7,115 pa) and a nominal ground rent apply. The property’s construction and assumed lack of wall insulation reflect its 1967–75 Brutalist build; some buyers will want to budget for thermal and electrical upgrades where permitted.
For the right purchaser — a professional couple, downsizer or investor who values space, iconic architecture and an unbeatable central location — this is a distinctive Barbican opportunity. Immediate access to Barbican Tube (about 100m), excellent local amenities and strong rental demand support the property’s attraction, provided buyers accept the listed status, lease length and energy inefficiencies.
