Large modern apartment with full leisure facilities and concierge.
High-floor apartment with wide London skyline views
This spacious one-bedroom apartment in Carrara Tower sits high above City Road with wide views across London. At roughly 700 sq ft, the open-plan living space and sizable bedroom offer more room than typical central London one-beds, ideal for someone seeking a comfortable city base. Completed in 2020, the flat benefits from contemporary finishes and large glazed windows that flood the home with light.
Residents enjoy extensive on-site facilities: 24-hour concierge, gym, spa and indoor pool, plus landscaped private gardens. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband make the apartment well suited to professionals who work from home or stream regularly. Central locations such as Angel, Old Street and Barbican are within easy walking distance, offering plentiful shops, restaurants and transport links.
There are material considerations to note. The property is leasehold and heated via a community heating scheme, which can mean significant service charges and limited control over heating. Council tax in the building is expensive. The wider area scores as deprived with a high local crime level — factors to weigh for long-term living or rental prospects.
For a first-time buyer seeking a bright, generously sized one-bedroom in a modern development with full amenities, this apartment offers strong lifestyle appeal. Budget for ongoing service and local-area issues when assessing affordability and suitability.
