Top-floor one-bedroom flat with large windows and bright living space
Set on the top floor of a handsome period building in EC1V, this bright one-bedroom flat offers a compact, well-presented home or buy-to-let in a prime central location. The open-plan living, kitchen and dining area is filled with natural light from large windows, and the property includes useful loft storage and a generous double bedroom.
Practical strengths include a long lease of 100 years, a low annual service charge (circa £795) and relatively small ground rent (£250). At 555 sq ft the apartment is an attractive size for a central London one-bedroom and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for commuters and renters.
Location is a key draw: moments from the Barbican and within walking distance of Old Street, with plentiful cafés, bars and restaurants nearby. Local schooling includes several good and outstanding options for families, while the area’s professional, cosmopolitan profile supports steady rental demand.
Buyers should note material local issues: the wider neighbourhood records high crime levels and sits within an area of relative deprivation. Council tax banding is not provided. These factors are important for both owner-occupiers and investors to consider alongside the apartment’s clear value drivers.
