This lovely two bedroom apartment is on the 1st and 2nd floor of Willoughby House, Barbican.  Fantastic location - just 3 minutes walk from Moorgate Underground, and within easy walking distance of other tube stations including Barbican, Liverpool Street, Bank and St Paul's and Old Street.

By the main door, there is an entrance hallway, with some storage space.  On the first floor there is an open plan kitchen and spacious living room, with sliding doors to a balcony overlooking the Barbican lake.  There is a cloakroom on the mezzanine level, and on the second floor, there is a bathroom and two double bedrooms with built in wardrobes and access to another balcony.  

There is underfloor heating throughout the apartment, and the cost of underfloor heating is included in the rent. The kitchen is well equipped with fridge freezer, cooker, oven, microwave and washing machine.

Secure underground parking within the block is available for residents (small additional charge to be paid to Barbican Central Services).

Willoughby House is a low rise block with lifts and good vehicular access (via car park entrance on Moor Lane).  It is connected to the Barbican Centre by raised covered walkways, providing easy pedestrian access to the Barbican facilities including restaurants, cafes, bars, cinemas, exhibition centre, public library, concert hall and tropical conservatory (2nd largest in London). Residents also have key access to a number of private communal gardens and children’s playground facilities. There is also a 24 hour porter to receive post and deliveries.

The apartment is let and managed directly by the owners:

 “My husband and I bought the apartment when we both worked in the City, and we lived there happily until we moved out of London in 2003. In the last 21 years, we have had 8 tenants, and our current tenants have been there for over 3 years.

We love the duplex layout as it has an upstairs downstairs arrangement that makes it feel like a house.  The apartment is spacious (925 sq ft) with plenty of storage space, and the dual aspect (bedrooms facing east, and living room and kitchen facing west) means that the apartment is bright throughout the day. The sun streams through the bedrooms in the morning, and moves over to the lounge and kitchen in the afternoon.  

We are hoping to find long term professional tenants – the apartment is ideal for a couple, although it could also be suitable for two professional sharers. We have found that managing the property ourselves works well and keeps everyone happy – we have access to a team of maintenance personnel if any maintenance work is required.

If you're interested, please contact us to arrange a viewing. In order to minimise disruption for our current tenants who have kindly agreed to provide access while working from home, we are encouraging viewings on specific dates, the first of which will be Saturday, 6th April, 1-3pm. Other opportunities to view may be available after those dates, if the apartment is not already taken by then. Please do get in touch if you would like to come along to have a look and have chat.”

The apartment is currently rented unfurnished, although some furniture could be provided upon request.  

The property is available from 1st May 2024 on a 12 month tenancy. (Note: current tenants are in the final stages of purchasing their own property, so they may vacate slightly earlier, please enquire if you prefer to start earlier).
