A spacious three-bedroom flat in the iconic Barbican estate, recently refurbished with high-quality finishes and clever built-in storage. The open-plan kitchen features bespoke teak cabinets, Corian worktops and a utility area; the main bedroom opens onto a balcony with full-height windows. At 1,149 sq ft and on the ninth floor, the apartment feels airy yet very practical for family living or a professional household.
The Barbican offers exceptional communal benefits: private landscaped gardens, on-site arts and cinema facilities, nearby Waitrose, and immediate access to Barbican, Farringdon and St Paul’s stations. Residents can also negotiate parking and storage cages separately. The long lease (171 years) provides security for buyers, and frequent occupants will appreciate excellent mobile signal and fast broadband.
Important practical points are stated plainly. The service charge is high (£12,122 pa), and council tax is also relatively expensive — factor these into running costs. The aspect is north/east, which gives consistent light but limits direct afternoon sun. Local crime levels are above average for central London; buyers should satisfy themselves on safety and security measures.
This flat suits buyers wanting a stylish, low-maintenance home near the financial district or investors seeking a desirable central London address with long leasehold security. The recent full refurbishment reduces immediate maintenance, though occupants should be aware of communal cost liabilities and local safety considerations.
