Chain-free split-level flat with private balcony and sweeping west-facing city views.
866 sq ft split-level flat with private balcony and shared large terrace
Set across split levels within a celebrated Grade II listed development, this 866 sq ft flat offers rare scale and light in the Barbican. The reception is impressive, the bedroom is very spacious and west-facing glazing provides sweeping city views. A private balcony and a large terrace shared with only one other flat extend the living space outdoors.
Practical details matter: the property is chain-free and on the sixth floor with lift access, and the Barbican tube is about 100 metres away. Heating is electric with room heaters, and the building’s system-built concrete fabric means limited built-in insulation—factor these into running costs and comfort expectations.
Buyers should note several material considerations: the 80-year lease remaining may restrict mortgage availability and will affect long-term value; the EPC rating is F; service charges are above average at £7,115 per year; and the listed status can complicate alterations and maintenance. Crime in the area is above average, though the immediate locale is very affluent and well connected.
This flat suits someone seeking a generous, characterful Barbican home with significant potential but who accepts listed-building constraints and will address energy, lease and servicing implications.
