About this home
One-Bedroom Apartment with Private Parking & Share of Freehold – London House, EC1A A well-presented one-bedroom apartment on the fifth floor of London House, 172 Aldersgate Street, ideally positioned in the heart of the City of London, directly opposite the Barbican and moments from some of central London’s most celebrated cultural, historic and dining destinations. Extending to approximately 500 sq. ft., the apartment offers well-proportioned accommodation, comprising a generous reception room with defined living and dining areas, a semi open-plan kitchen with integrated appliances, a comfortable double bedroom with in-built storage and a contemporary bathroom. One of the property's key advantages is the generously sized private basement parking space, a particularly valuable and relatively uncommon feature for a central City apartment. The property is also sold with a share of the freehold, meaning there is no ground rent. Residents of London House benefit from a concierge service and access to the building's communal roof terrace, providing an impressive outdoor space with far-reaching views across London's skyline. The combination of private parking and communal outdoor space adds a level of amenity that is increasingly difficult to find in such a central location.
