Crescent House Golden Lane Estate EC1

FULL DETAILS A highly sought after & rare barrel vaulted top floor (third) bright and airy one bedroom apartment. Presented in amazing condition, with many original features including an original bathroom, upgraded kitchen in the original style, solid oak flooring and fully consented secondary glazing to match the existing windows. Finished in 1962, The Golden Lane Estate was one of the finest achievement of the architects Chamberlain, Powell & Bon. Grade II Listed, the Estate incorporates a recently refurbished Public Leisure Centre, located right in the middle, with tennis & squash courts, gym and swimming pool. The sense of community, promoted by the architecture and design, has made the estate both successful and popular. Crescent House itself is actually Grade II* to show its elevated significance over the rest of the Estate. The architects drew inspiration from Le Corbusier, one of the pioneers of what now is called Modern architecture. Their vision has created a unique urban village community devoid of traffic with immediate amenities. The apartments themselves are cleverly designed to maximise light and space. With incredible foresight, the architects designed Crescent House with 'Spare Rooms en-suite' at the end of the corridor where residents' family and friends can come and stay for a very reasonable rate. Fantastically located, Barbican tube station (on the Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines) is only a couple of minutes' walk away, with Moorgate (Northern line), St Paul's (Central line) and Mansion House (District line) tube stations each within a short walking distance – as is Liverpool Street (main line to Stansted) and Farringdon Station (main line to Gatwick) and the newly opened Elizabeth Line. Farringdon Station will be a vital interchange between the North-South Thameslink and the East-West Elizabeth service. The Elizabeth gives direct access to Canary Wharf in 9 minutes & Bond Street in 3 minutes. The Barbican Centre with its concert hall, theatres and cinema are on your doorstep and Waitrose is located nearby on Whitecross Street, which is also home to the weekday Whitecross Street food market. Over the road is West Smithfield an area that has seen a huge regeneration - incoming occupiers are small food outlets, coffee shops bars & restaurants providing a buzzing mixed use location comprising of many media, digital and creative industries, but increasingly legal, professional and finance. Also within easy reach are the attractions of St. Paul's' Cathedral, New Change Shopping Complex, the River Thames, Tate Modern, Shoreditch, Brick Lane and the Columbia Road Flower Market.Hi Laura, thank you for your email.
