Description

Brutal and bold – Blake Tower is “the new kid on the block” when it comes to the Barbican Estate.

Built in the late 1960’s it was named after the 18th-century English poet and artist William Blake, considered a primary figure in British history of poetry and visual art. The building was formerly the Barbican YMCA and is a wonderful example of Brutalist architecture designed by the celebrated architects Chamberlin, Powell and Bon and like the rest of the Barbican is Grade II listed.

Converted into luxury apartments by the developer Redrow Homes with designs from Conran and Partners studio the building was refurbished and redesigned respecting all that is iconic about the Barbican architecture.

Located high up in the building with magnificent views of the City Skyline this apartment is an exceptional home. Ample and gracious it has been exceptionally refurbished and as it has been hardly used is in excellent condition throughout.

The accommodation comprises a huge dual aspect living space with an open plan kitchen and separate utility cupboard. The principal bedroom has ample build in wardrobes and ensuite bathroom, whilst there is a second double bedroom and guest shower room. The building also benefits a day porter.

The Barbican Centre which is part of the Global Cultural Districts Network is the largest performing Art Centre in Europe, hosting music concerts, art exhibitions and film screenings.

It is also home to The London Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the Barbican Art gallery as well as the globally acclaimed Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

Whitecross street with its superb restaurants, shops and Waitrose supermarket is a few minutes' walk away and local stations at Barbican and Farringdon are super convenient with access to (Hammersmith and City, Metropolitan and Circle Lines) the Elizabeth line and mainline at Farringdon.
