Summary - BRETON HOUSE FLAT 52 BARBICAN LONDON EC2Y 8DQ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Central modern retreat with balcony, underfloor heating and communal gardens.
West-facing second-floor F2A with balcony and afternoon light
A compact, second-floor F2A apartment in Breton House offering efficient open-plan living with a fitted wall bed and generous built-in storage. The flat faces west and benefits from floor-to-ceiling doors to a balcony/fire exit, bringing afternoon light and views over the estate's tiered concrete architecture and landscaped communal gardens. Underfloor heating is included in the service charge, and lift access plus resident garden use add convenience and lifestyle value.
This property sits in the heart of the Barbican estate with immediate access to cultural venues, shops and excellent transport links (Elizabeth Line, Barbican, St Paul’s and Moorgate nearby). The building’s 24-hour car park attendants and concierge-style services (package holding) are practical bonuses for city living. Fast broadband and strong mobile signal support remote working and digital lifestyles.
Important practical considerations: the lease has 81 years remaining, which is below the level many mortgage lenders prefer and will likely require prompt lease extension action. The annual service charge of £4,818 is above average and includes heating; ground rent is nominal at £10. The apartment’s overall footprint is compact (c. 430 sq ft), making it most suitable for single occupancy or as a pied-à-terre rather than a family home.
Chain-free sale and central location make this a straightforward purchase for investors seeking rental demand in a landmark development or for buyers wanting a low-maintenance city base with strong cultural and transport amenities. Buyers should check lease-extension costs and lender requirements before proceeding.
