It’s not often that the perfect property comes up for sale. Indeed perfect is, of course, subjective. But for workers in the City of London, we believe that here at AW Childs estate agents – specialists in Barbican, Clerkenwell and Farringdon, we have the ultimate city apartment for those who want the benefit of living in the City of London, with the tranquil calm of a garden view, all within the frame of a high specification apartment that has it all.
The apartment in question is based at Thomas More House – part of the brutalist marvel that is the Barbican Estate. The site was constructed as a centrepiece of the reconstruction of the City of London following the Second World War, and is a testament to Britain’s need to produce housing that was of good quality and placed in an ideal location. In 1973, the estate was the pinnacle of architecture and design and over the years has become one of London’s most desirable places to live. This is due to not only its design, but also its idyllic location and green spaces.
But what about our apartment in particular? Well, this one is a one bedroom apartment that has a garden view from the living room! It has been refurbished to some of the highest specification that we have seen and it is clear that this home has been lovingly cared for and curated by someone with a keen eye and a high-quality taste. The sheer level of thought that has been put into this home means that even the fussiest of buyers could happily move in tomorrow and not change a single thing!
So let’s look at the property in a little more detail.
As soon as you walk into the property you will be hit by the stunning quality of the place. Oak flooring complements the large windows of both the living room and the bedroom and the whole space has an airy feel to it. It is this maximal use of light and space that is the guiding principle to the way that this apartment has been designed. As you turn right into the living room you will see a stunning set of shelves that will hold enough books to house a small library!
Continuing the theme of open space, the living room features a large split window that allows in lots of natural light and continues the feeling of airiness that enhances the atmosphere of the property. The living room window has a garden view for a little slice of peace and tranquility in the heart of the city. There is also more shelved storage and plenty of room for a large corner sofa. The oak flooring also continues into the front room and it perfectly complements the light that comes in from the window. The room is perfectly sized for the minimalist and has state of the art lighting for an ultra modern and clean look.
The kitchen continues the theme that runs through the property of light and space. It features a white kitchen that has an enormous amount of storage space and an incredible set of integrated appliances that are functional, but help to maintain the clean look of the room. There is also a direct view into the front room due to a space that is shared between the two rooms, which makes serving dinner, or staying in touch with your guests an excellent option if you choose to entertain.
With a Neff integrated oven and seperate hob, there is all the cooking options available to please even the most stringent of chefs and the apartment is ideal for those looking to entertain. The high-quality tiled flooring also gives a clean professional look that is easy to maintain and aesthetically pleasing.
Much like the kitchen, the bathroom is also a nod to form and function – the room is just stunning. With high-quality tiled floors and walls, the room was designed and built by acclaimed builders West One Bathrooms. It features a chrome heated towel rail matching Monsoon shower head and a stunning bath / sink set. It also has storage and a huge mirror that adds to the spacious feel of the room.
Last but not least we move on to the bedroom. With built in wardrobes and storage galore, the room is able to house an unbelievable amount. More than big enough for a professional couple, the room is light and airy with another large split window that has a stunning view and allows in plenty of natural light. The oak flooring also continues into the room giving the apartment a unifying theme of oak flooring and light that is aesthetically pleasing and maximises the use of the available space.
As you will appreciate from the photos, our property at Thomas More House is an amazing space for a City of London professional. Built to an extremely high standard, everything other than the kitchen and bathroom was installed by Thomson Brothers, we believe that you will struggle to find a higher specification apartment in the Barbican.

Here at AW Childs we are proud to do some good as well as being estate agent in Barbican, Clerkenwell and Farringdon. With this in mind our Director Alex recently gave an interview to ADC College about our role in developing European student interns in the London property market. We strongly believe in offering opportunity and to help people to grow and ethics is a strong driver of our brand. We have a proud history of helping European student interns to make the most of their time and London and we hope the interview helps to get that message across.
Below is a transcript of the interview or you can click here to read the article on ADC’s website.
We feel that European students offer a different perspective than perhaps we would find locally and can add significant value to our team. Their perspectives and skills can be put to good use in our business and we can give them a superb grounding in the fundamentals of running a business.
The students get to spend a lot of time with our staff and can get a real feel for how the business operates from day to day. This experience is a way for the students to gain practical work experience in a fast-paced environment.
Depending on the students confidence level we will try to ensure they get to experience as much of the London property industry as possible. Their tasks will usually include accompanying property viewings, photography shoots, writing property descriptions and engaging with our company’s social media channels. They also help to update our website at https://awchilds.co.uk.
We are never sat behind a desk for longer than a few hours a day. We visit beautiful homes in different locations across London and every day is different.
London is one of Europe’s most vibrant cities and is very different culturally to any other capital in Europe. Working here enables our student interns to travel and gain experience in a professional capacity and also to improve their English language skills.
Our interns have been very valuable in terms of helping us with administrative tasks, allowing us more time to focus on other duties. They have even helped us to improve our social media offering which will benefit the business significantly moving forward. Our interns have the opportunity to learn and also become a part of our success story, we feel it is a mutually beneficial relationship.
A good intern is one that is happy to get stuck in and learn as we go along. Our business is extremely fast-paced and it requires critical thinking and a keen eye for detail that doesn’t come natural to everyone, it can be a steep learning curve but very rewarding.
We also like people that are friendly and helpful. They need to be willing to improve as they go along and we will push them to always hone their skills.
In our customer-facing role, it can be easy to become frustrated, so it is a blunder when we don’t pay full attention to our clients. Often our clients have a very good idea of what they need and learning to ask the right questions and be empathetic to their needs will ensure that you don’t go too far off the mark.
Yes! Come in with an attitude of wanting to learn and a helpful disposition and everything else will likely fall into place. You will be amazed at what you can learn if you bring the right attitude and are prepared to put in the work.
