Another opportunity to live on this grade II-listed development. In this case an apartment in Andrewes House on the Barbican Estate, London EC2Y.
You may or may not know that Andrewes House was the second Barbican block to be completed, dating back to July 1969. It is a terrace block, running along the south side of the lake, from the bridge across the lake to the waterfall at the far end.
The block contains 192 flats, with 13 different varieties, The one available here is a Barbican type 21, which is a south-facing, two-bedroom apartment on the second floor.
The big plus point for many is living on the Barbican, but an added bonus for most will be the original features still present here. So full height, double width glass sliding doors leading to the balcony, thew kitchen by Brooke Marine and the bathroom and WC with original Tywford Barbican sink, as well as the original built-in wardrobes.
As for the space, that’s pretty self-explanatory, with the two large bedrooms, the main living area with kitchen and the previously mentioned bathroom, along with the balcony area. All of which has underfloor heating, which is included in the service charge. Yes, always one of those.
You also overlooking the resident gardens and lake, which as a resident you will (of course) have free access to.
Check with the agent about that service charge, but before you go making plans, just make sure you have the £895,000 asking price available.
