Set on a high floor in Blake Tower, this two-bedroom apartment offers generous, open-plan living and modern finishes designed by Conran & Partners. The large reception and island kitchen are fitted with Siemens appliances, induction hob and engineered oak flooring, while recent aluminium-frame double glazing and gigabit wiring add practical, low-maintenance benefits. Residents also have concierge access and use of the development’s communal gardens.
The flat is offered chain-free with a long lease (142 years remaining), making it straightforward for buyers and investors. Practical extras include rentable parking and storage cages nearby; the building sits in Zone 1 with excellent transport links via Barbican and Farringdon stations, placing the City and Elizabeth line within easy reach.
Buyers should note material running costs: the annual service charge is high at £7,018 and council tax is in a costly band. Heating is provided via a mains gas community scheme rather than an independent boiler; while efficient for some, this can affect individual control and costs. There is no private outdoor space and the apartment sits within a dense urban, brutalist tower setting.
Overall this is a spacious, well-specified central London apartment that will suit buyers seeking turn-key city living or investors targeting strong rental demand. The combination of modern specification, long lease and enviable central location are clear strengths, balanced by above-average service charges and limited private outdoor space.
