Bowater House was the first block to be built on the Golden Lane Estate and it still retains the founding stone “Corporation of London” placed by Sir Vansittart Bowater, who served as the Mayor of London from 1913 to 1914 and as one of the city's Members of Parliament from 1924 to 1938.
Grade II listed since 1997 due to its brutalist architectural interest and merit, The Golden Lane Estate was designed in the late 1950's by the celebrated architects, Chamberlain, Powell and Bon with influences by Le Corbusier and remains to date one of the most iconic brutalist developments in Central London.
The Golden Lane Estate has been subject to ongoing sympathetic restoration, offering superb facilities such as the leisure centre now renamed Golden Lane Sport and fitness, with swimming pool, tennis courts and gymnasium.
The layout of the apartment is certainly one of the most sought after with open tread concrete steps and counter-weighted double height windows in the reception room, leading to a private balcony and communal gardens beyond. There is a separate kitchen, two generous bedrooms and recently upgraded bathroom.
Brutalist architecture and design is most definitely in vogue at the moment, characterised by bare materials, strong and bold elements and geometric shapes.
Bowater House is located on the corner of Fann Street and Golden Lane within a short walk to Barbican Station (Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines) as well as the new Farringdon Station entrance to the Elizabeth line.
The Barbican Centre which is part of the Global Cultural Districts Network and the financial district in The City are close by with excellent shopping including Waitrose and Whitecross Street market.
The flat would make an excellent pied a terre, rental investment or City home.
