Property description & features

  • Tenure: Leasehold (174 years remaining)

A 1-bedroom penthouse flat on the 7th floor at the north end of Willoughby House, Barbican. This type of flat is known within the Barbican as a ‘Type 114’. It is a rare Type, there are only two Type 114s the whole Barbican Estate, located at the north and south end of Willoughby House.

The entrance leads into a large hall area. The living room is off the hall to the right and the semi-open plan kitchen takes up a corner of the living room. The kitchen is the original Brooke Marine. A good sized north facing terrace is accessed via the sliding doors in the living room. At the end of the hall is a second lobby area which could be used as a small study. Off that, on the right side, is the bedroom with fitted wardrobes and on the left side is the bathroom and a separate WC.  The flat will require a full refurbishment.  

This flat is a short walk from the shopping amenities, restaurants and bars around Moorgate, including a large Marks and Spencer department store, and Whitecross Street where there is a Waitrose. The closest station is Moorgate (National Rail, Elizabeth, Northern, Circle, Hammersmith and City and Metropolitan line). The Elizabeth line provides very quick and easy access to Canary Wharf and the West End and the entrance is a short walk from Willoughby House. To the south of the Barbican lies Cheapside, One New Change shopping centre and St Paul's.

Residents' facilities and services: full use of the large and tranquil Barbican gardens; storage lockers and parking are available by separate arrangement; collection of rubbish and recycling from your door; cycle parking; 24-hour porterage; tennis courts (small fee applies); proximity of the world-renowned Barbican Arts Centre with its concert hall, cinema screens, theatre, galleries, library, shops, bars and restaurants.

Managed by the City of London Corporation, the Barbican Estate is the finest achievement of the architects Chamberlin, Powell & Bon. It was Grade II listed in 2001 in recognition of its extraordinary contribution to London's urban landscape.

We bring this flat to the market as sole agent and there is no onward chain.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on February 9, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on February 9, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
