It looks pretty bare, but at least you can see what you get with this Type 20 apartment in Speed House on the Barbican Estate, London EC2Y.
Basically, an apartment in Speed House, dating back to 1969 and the first terrace block to be built on the site. As you probably know, the Barbican is the work of Chamberlin, Powell and Bon and is grade II-listed on account of its architectural merit.
The apartment on offer here is an L-shaped south facing unit on the second floor of the development, directly overlooking the residents’ garden below.
As you can see, it is pretty much untouched with full height, triple width sliding doors leading to the balcony (the original sliding door is still in place) and the Brooks Marine kitchen, bathroom and separate WC.
Of course, what we have said above pretty much sums up the living space here too, with the reception and balcony, kitchen area, bathroom and the single bedroom.
All of which have underfloor heating, which is financed via the service charge for the block.
Always a popular place to live and as we have said on many occasions, that popularity has resulted in the price of these apartments going up and up.
In terms of this one, it has a guide price of £875,000.
