Description
A 1-bedroom penthouse flat, with terrace, on the 7th floor of Willoughby House, Barbican. A fantastically located flat close to the Barbican Arts Centre and the Elizabeth line at Moorgate. No onward chain.

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.
