Compact, characterful central-London studio ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Chain-free studio with extended 171-year lease
A compact studio apartment in the iconic Barbican Estate, offered chain-free and with an extended 171-year lease. The F1A layout retains many original features, including a Brooke Marine-style kitchen, built-in storage and a white-tiled bathroom. A floor-to-ceiling sliding window opens onto a west-facing balcony that catches evening sun and floods the room with light.
Residents benefit from private communal gardens, underground car parking, 24/7 porterage, storage cages and cycle parking. The estate’s cultural amenities are on the doorstep — Barbican Arts Centre, theatres, galleries, cinemas and easy access to shops and supermarkets. Transport links are excellent with Barbican, Farringdon and Moorgate nearby.
Practical points to note: the block is Grade II listed which can restrict alterations and may complicate works; the building is a system-built construction likely without added external insulation. Heating and gas are run via a community scheme. Annual service charge is approximately £3,560 and local crime levels are above average; purchasers should check management, insurance and safety arrangements before committing.
This studio suits a buyer seeking an affordable entry into a landmark central-London address or an investor after a compact, well-located tenancy opportunity. Its original character, strong lease length and estate services are strengths, while listing constraints and service costs are the main trade-offs.
