Set atop the iconic City Approach building, this 1,782 sq ft penthouse offers expansive, dual-aspect living with floor-to-ceiling windows and two private roof terraces. The open-plan reception and kitchen create a bright central living space with strong city views north and south, making it well-suited to entertaining or flexible home-working.
The apartment has three double bedrooms and three bathrooms, plenty of built-in storage and modern underfloor heating supplied by a mains-gas-fired boiler. The long lease (approx. 949 years) and chain-free sale simplify purchase and ownership, while the EPC B rating reflects relatively efficient performance for a central London home.
Location is a clear strength: Old Street, Barbican and Moorgate stations are all within easy walking distance, placing tech, creative and financial hubs moments away. Local amenities are abundant, from restaurants and cafes to supermarkets and fitness facilities, supporting an inner-city cosmopolitan lifestyle.
Buyers should note material running costs and local conditions: an above-average service charge (£6,000 pa) and a small ground rent (£200 pa) apply, and council tax is described as expensive. The immediate area records higher crime levels and pockets of deprivation; purchasers should consider personal security and insurance implications. Overall, this penthouse will suit buyers seeking a spacious, high-spec city residence with substantial outdoor roof space and strong transport links.
