Summary - Fann Street, London, City of London, EC2Y EC2Y 8AF
4 bed 3 bath Apartment
Sprawling four-bed penthouse with two roof terraces and panoramic city views.
Duplex penthouse across two top floors, 2,231 sq ft
A rare duplex penthouse occupying the top two floors of Blake Tower, this 2,231 sq ft four-bedroom home delivers expansive living, dramatic city views and two private roof terraces. The lower level is arranged as a generous social hub with zoning for living, dining and a fitted kitchen, while the upper level houses a principal suite with dressing area, an additional lofty room with wet bar and a second terrace. Day-to-day convenience includes lift access, a concierge and an additional private storage unit. Sold chain free with 141 years remaining on the lease.
Location is a major strength: the flat sits within the Barbican cultural quarter, a short walk to the Barbican Centre, Whitecross Street market and multiple transport hubs (Barbican, Farringdon, Moorgate, St Paul’s). Several highly regarded schools are within easy reach, and the neighbourhood offers abundant shops, food and leisure facilities. The apartment’s double glazing (post-2002) and generous ceiling heights amplify the sense of light and space.
Be upfront about costs and constraints. The property carries a very high service charge (£12,726 pa) and similarly high council tax, and it operates on a community heating scheme. Energy performance is rated D. Crucially, the building is Grade II listed; that status preserves the building’s celebrated Brutalist character but will limit the scope for structural alterations and may complicate some refurbishments. Buyers should budget for ongoing maintenance and expect planning constraints associated with listed status.
This penthouse suits families or buyers seeking a distinctive central London home with generous entertaining space and stunning panoramas, who accept listed-building restrictions and premium running costs in return for culture-rich location and rare roof terraces.
