Set on the fourth floor of a handsome Georgian building, this two-bedroom apartment delivers bright, high-ceiling living with a private balcony and expansive city skyline views. The practical layout includes two double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a separate kitchen — a flexible plan for city living or rental income.
The flat needs cosmetic modernisation, presenting clear scope to add contemporary finishes and increase value. With 97 years remaining on the lease the property is saleable but buyers should factor refurbishment costs and confirm longevity plans. Service charge and ground rent are above average, so running costs will be higher than typical for the area.
Transport links are a core strength: Farringdon and Barbican stations are within easy reach, making connections across London straightforward. Discounted resident parking is available nearby, a useful bonus for central locations. Local amenities, schools and cultural destinations are a short walk away in this inner-city, cosmopolitan neighbourhood.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking a well-located London base with strong future potential — either an owner-occupier happy to update the interior, or an investor targeting central rental demand. Important negatives to note: the property requires renovation, service charges and ground rent are costly, and the immediate area records very high crime levels; factor these into budgeting and security plans.
