Contemporary one-bed close to Farringdon and transport links.
Third-floor one-bedroom with lift access
This third-floor one-bedroom apartment in Cock Lane offers contemporary City living within a period development, just a short walk from Farringdon and City Thameslink stations. The bright open-plan reception and integrated kitchen provide a practical layout for daily life and entertaining, while the double bedroom and fully tiled bathroom deliver comfortable, low-maintenance accommodation.
Practical details strengthen the offer: a very long lease (976 years), lift access, double glazing and electric underfloor heating mean minimal immediate works. At about 503 sq ft, the apartment is a manageable size for a first-time buyer seeking a central base with excellent transport links and nearby amenities, including cafés, supermarkets and cultural venues.
Buyers should note a few material points. Local crime levels are recorded as very high, which may influence personal security choices and insurance costs. Council tax is above average for the area, and there is a ground rent of £270 annually. Heating runs on electric underfloor systems, which can affect running costs compared with gas central heating.
Overall, this is a straightforward, contemporary City apartment that suits someone wanting a central, well-connected home with long-term security through an extensive lease. It will appeal to buyers prioritising location and convenience over large living space.
