We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A bright and airy dual-aspect flat situated on the top floor of Stanley Cohen House, with two double bedrooms and a west-facing view over the Golden Lane Estate.
This property is offered with a long lease and is being sold chain free by the current owner.
A predecessor to the famous Barbican Estate, the Golden Lane Estate has also been Grade II listed since 1997 due to its architectural significance.
It was designed in the 1950's by the renowned architects Chamberlain, Powell and Bon and remains one of the most iconic developments of its date in London. Stanley Cohen House was completed in 1957.
The layout of the apartment is ideal for someone looking for a spacious flat on the estate with two double bedrooms, a bathroom, and a large reception room leading onto a private terrace and separate kitchen with a generous opening into the living space.
The property is offered with the parquet flooring in place and is in excellent condition. The external walls have been lined with 50mm insulation.
Stanley Cohen House is moments away from Barbican tube station, serviced by The Metropolitan Line, the Circle Line and the Hammersmith & City Line.
The Elizabeth Line is accessible from Farringdon Station, with the entrance located on Long Lane.
Grocieres can be purchased from the nearby Waitrose on Whitecross Street, or Tesco on Aldersgate Street.
