Summary - JOHN TRUNDLE COURT FLAT 24 BARBICAN LONDON EC2Y 8DJ
1 bed 1 bath Studio
High-spec Barbican studio with long lease and balcony, chain free.
Large-style studio (F2A) with generous single-volume space
A large-style studio (F2A) on the 5th floor of John Trundle Court, recently refurbished throughout to a high standard. The apartment offers full-height glazing to an east aspect, excellent natural light, and city views including the Gherkin. The open-plan room is fitted with micro-cement flooring, an upgraded Smeg kitchen with breakfast bar, and a contemporary Feix and Merlin-designed bathroom. Built-in wardrobes house services while providing useful storage. A full-width balcony/external walkway provides outdoor space.
Practical ownership features make this attractive to a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor: an extended lease of 171 years, no ground rent, and vacant possession (no onward chain). Residents can use the Barbican Estate’s communal gardens and cultural facilities; parking and storage cages are available by separate negotiation. The flat’s compact footprint (about 435 sq ft / 40.4 sq m) suits a single occupant or couple seeking efficient, high-spec city living.
Buyers should note important cost and legal considerations. The annual service charge is relatively high at £4,331; the estate’s Grade II listing may restrict alterations and could complicate permissions. The building is system-built with partial insulation assumed. Crime in the area is reported above average, and the property is leasehold (service charge and communal rules apply). Heating is electric underfloor; double glazing predates 2002.
Overall this is a stylish, move-in-ready studio in a landmark complex close to Barbican and Moorgate transport links. It suits buyers prioritising location, design and low immediate maintenance, but those sensitive to ongoing service charges, listing restrictions or a compact single-room layout should factor those into their decision.
