House For Sale £2,750,000
At the heart of the iconic Barbican Estate and sitting alongside the historic ruins of the Roman London City wall, is this striking and rare freehold family home refurbished to a high specification by the Barbican design specialists Thomson Brothers.
Offering versatile accommodation spanning 2500 sq ft of bright and well-presented space, the house comprises four/five bedrooms, two reception rooms, two bathrooms, guest WC and a well-planned contemporary kitchen/dining room and a separate utility/laundry room. The house has a converted integral single garage currently used as a large storage room for bikes.
Continuing its theme of versatility, the house benefits from two entrances, one at street level on Monkwell Square, and the other off the half landing on the third floor of the house, opening directly on to the Barbican High Walk with direct covered pedestrian access to the Barbican Arts Centre and Barbican station. The house sits at the end of the Square with no through traffic.
The lower floor media room/ fifth bedroom looks directly onto the private Resident's gardens and St Giles' Church piazza. This spacious family room features a good range of bespoke shelving and storage. A signature Barbican u-shaped window has been converted to open.
Three bedrooms, all with floor to ceiling windows, (two have the classic Barbican hand hammered concrete feature) are found on the first floors. The largest has a small balcony and terrace which overlooks the Resident's gardens. One is currently used as a home gym and the third is a double bedroom looking out to the Square. Further up, the elegant principal bedroom faces South with views over the tranquil square and has air conditioning, an ensuite bathroom and a wall of fitted wardrobes.
The main Reception room, with a mezzanine to the kitchen area, sits at the heart of the house overlooking the Resident's gardens.
A particular highlight of this stylish house is the airy room which sits between two terraces on the top floor, this lends itself perfectly to use as a home office. The views from the two terraces contrast beautifully, with the South terrace having views of the modern City skyscape including the architecture of Richard Rogers and Norman Foster, and the opposite terrace enjoying views of the Barbican Estate, either would make a perfect spot to enjoy a peaceful drink at the end of the day.
The calibre of work which has been carried out is impressive including oak wood floors, a Sonos sound system and lots of storage with bespoke shelving, fitted wardrobes and built-in cupboards throughout. The house has been hardwired with Cat 6 for internet and fibre optic cabling to the property (FTTP).
Residents pay an annual service charge to the City of London which provides for full access to the Barbican's award-winning Resident's gardens including the famous Barbican lake and waterfall, services of the Barbican concierge team who are on site 24 hours a day, and main underfloor background heating.
Monkwell Square is a smart, private Square, (vehicular access can only be gained through the security barrier off Fore Street) which features at its centre The Worshipful Company of Barber-Surgeon's Hall with its historic medicinal herb garden.
Both Barbican and Moorgate Underground stations are equidistant.
