“Modernist design becomes a significant part of everyday life”

Located in the renowned Stafford Cripps Estate which was completed in the mid 1950’s, it was designed by the celebrated architect Joseph Emberton in the early modernist period. His work was significant with the Olympia National, royal Corinthian Yacht Club and Simpsons of Piccadilly department store (now Waterstone’s flagship bookstore) to name a few well known buildings.

Modernist architecture was a considerable influence on housing design in the 1950’s with clean minimal lines, embracing a practical way of living.

This well-presented apartment with its own private balcony offers this, it is located on the favoured side of the building with views towards the Barbican from the living room and balcony. The accommodation comprises two decent size double bedrooms both with built in wardrobes, shower room, kitchen and comfortable reception room with a dining area.

Gee Street runs parallel to Old Street and off Goswell Road, with easy access to Barbican Underground as well as Farringdon Underground and mainline stations which give quick, easy and efficient access to Central London, the City and Canary Wharf.

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

A wonderful opportunity for any modernist follower.
