2 Bed Flat, Brandon Mews, EC2Y

Description This rarely-available type of Barbican house has been refurbished throughout, with solid oak wood floors (underfloor heating), a contemporary kitchen, and plenty of built-in storage in each of the bedrooms. The property benefits from its own entrance accessed from the car park with its 24 hour porterage. The ground floor contains the reception room, open-plan kitchen and second bedroom/study, while the first floor contains the principal bedroom and well-presented original Barbican bathroom.

Two massive oak bookshelves afford endless storage and display; one in the entryway, the other abutting the open staircase, towering from the lower floor to the upper. Two skylights capping 12’ vaults – in the bathroom and above the stairwell – provide both floors with natural light. The flat affords stunning westward views towards the lake with a direct view to the waterfall and garden. The flat’s unique position within the mews offers both privacy and a tranquil ambience.

Note that the second bedroom behind the kitchen (see last two photos) is technically a half-bedroom. This room was originally the kitchen, as is standard for most of the flats in Brandon Mews (The previous owner built the open kitchen that you see now). In creating the advert, one must choose between one or two bedrooms, as 1 1/2 is not an option. That being said, the room functions well as an office or guest bedroom, as well as offering additional storage space.

Situation Brandon Mews is situated at the western side of the Barbican, steps away from Moorgate Station (Northern, Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith & City lines) as well as the Elizabeth line, which reaches Heathrow Airport in only 45 minutes. 24/7 car park attendant / concierge, plus residents’ private access to all gardens throughout the Barbican Estate.

Furnishings The flat is furnished with essential furniture, including a King size bed + mattress, sofa, one sofa bed, three tables and assorted chairs, as well as a assorted sideboards and several lamps.
