A larger-than-average studio on the eighth floor of Frobisher Crescent, this apartment sits quietly overlooking the Barbican Sculpture Court. The cleverly designed interior makes the most of space: a pull-down bed with integrated table, built-in wardrobe and desk units, full-height windows and a balcony/fire exit. Wood flooring runs through the reception and hallway, and the shower room includes a cupboard with washer/dryer. Residents benefit from three lifts (one with direct arts-hall access), pretty communal gardens and 24-hour porterage.
Position is the property's real strength. The Barbican Arts Centre, cinema, galleries, cafes and supermarkets are on the doorstep, and excellent transport links include the Elizabeth Line (Farringdon/Liverpool Street) plus Barbican, Moorgate and St. Paul’s underground stations. Parking is available separately through the City of London. The flat is offered chain-free and sits on a long lease (c.135 years remaining).
Practical costs and local context are important to note. Service charges are approximately £3,135pa with a small ground rent of £150pa and moderate council tax. The surrounding area is very affluent and well connected, but recorded local crime levels are very high — an important consideration for buyers prioritising street-level security or quiet streets.
This studio will suit a city-first buyer or investor wanting immediate central London living or a lettable pied-à-terre. The apartment is well presented and largely move-in ready, with opportunities to personalise storage and finishes if desired. Parking is not included and must be arranged separately.
