This bright one-bedroom apartment on the fifth floor offers 549 sq ft of open-plan living with floor-to-ceiling windows and a high-spec kitchen. The standout roof terrace provides private outdoor space and city views — rare for central City apartments. With no properties above, the apartment benefits from added privacy and light.
Located moments from Barbican and Moorgate stations, the flat suits City professionals seeking a convenient pied-à-terre or investors targeting strong rental demand. The property is sold chain-free and has a relatively long lease (109 years), supporting straightforward purchase or refinancing.
Buyers should note material running costs: an annual service charge around £4,000 and ground rent of £250. The immediate neighbourhood records very high crime levels, which may affect perception and insurance costs. EPC C and electric heating (air source heat pump/warm air) are efficient for its age but mains electric heating can influence bills.
Overall this is a modern, well-located flat with genuine investment appeal and usable outdoor space. It will suit purchasers who prioritise location, transport links and low-maintenance modern finishes, and who are comfortable with central London service charges and local safety considerations.
