Summary - THOMAS MORE HOUSE FLAT 71 BARBICAN LONDON EC2Y 8BT
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Light-filled, refurbished one-bed with direct garden access and long lease..
South-facing fifth-floor apartment with balcony over residents' gardens
A bright, recently refurbished one-bedroom apartment (Type 20) on the fifth floor of Thomas More House, arranged in an L-shape to offer flexible living that can function as a one- or two-bed layout. Full-height sliding windows and a south-facing balcony look over the communal residents’ gardens, bringing generous natural light into the living space. Refurbishment by Thomson Brothers includes a modern kitchen, bathroom, and a separate WC; built-in storage, bookshelves and a drop-down bed add space-efficient practicality.
The apartment benefits from long leasehold security (171 years remaining, effectively extended to 2196), underfloor heating (covered in the service charge), direct lift access to the gardens and 24-hour porterage with car park attendants who can accept deliveries. It sits at the heart of the Barbican complex with immediate access to cultural amenities, shops and excellent transport links including the Elizabeth Line at Farringdon/Liverpool Street.
Notable running costs and practical points are clear: the service charge is relatively high (estimated £6,553 pa) and council tax is above average. Car parking and bike storage are available only by separate negotiation with the City of London. The wider area records above-average crime rates; buyers should weigh central-location convenience against these local considerations.
No onward chain and a strong central-London location make this an easy-to-manage pied-à-terre, buy-to-let, or a first central flat for professionals seeking culture and transport connectivity.
