Double room with private balcony in The Cobalt Building, Barbican / Moorgate — £1,700 pcm

Spacious double bedroom available in a 2-bed flat on the 5th floor of The Cobalt Building, EC2Y. Looking for one professional flatmate to join my friendly current housemate (works in tech, in his mid-20s, tidy, sociable but respects quiet time).

The room
Genuinely large double ensuite — easily fits a king bed, full desk setup, wardrobe and chest of drawers with floor space to spare. Comes furnished with double bed, fitted wardrobe, chest of drawers, desk and chair. Private Juliet balcony with views over Bridgewater Square toward the Barbican Estate — gets good afternoon light. Carpeted, double-glazed, electric heating.

The flat

Separate living room with sofas, dining table and second balcony
Full kitchen with dishwasher, washing machine, oven, hob, fridge/freezer, microwave
Bathrooms with full-size bath and overhead shower, heated towel rail
Secure entry, lift access, well-maintained building

Bridgewater Square, EC2Y — a quiet pocket between Barbican and Moorgate. Two minutes' walk to Barbican (Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan), seven to Moorgate (Northern, Elizabeth Line — Liverpool Street in 2 mins, Canary Wharf in 12, Heathrow direct).

Walking distance to the City, Old Street, Shoreditch and Clerkenwell. Whitecross Street market round the corner, Waitrose and M&S nearby, the Barbican Centre on your doorstep for cinema, concerts and the conservatory.

About me
Quick context — I'm moving on for personal reasons, nothing to do with the flat or my flatmate. Happy to answer any questions on a call.

Viewings
Evenings and weekends. Drop me a message with a bit about yourself — what you do, when you'd want to move in, and roughly how long you're looking to stay. Happy to do a video walkthrough first if you're not local.
