Charterhouse the Square is located a short walk from Barbican station, which is serviced by the Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines. Sesame Apartments is comprised of 73 one and two-bedroom apartments, with a youth club on the lower floors. “The apartment is really nice – it is spacious, modern and there is a great balcony. We also have pretty nice views from the apartment. It is cheap to run utilities-wise which is a real bonus. The concierge service is generally very good (although you have to ring them to get hold of them). In terms of facilities, the courtyard within the residence is very attractive and pleasant but sadly there is not a gym.” Verified resident, Charterhouse the Square.

Cladding removal on development

Aug 2023

There's currently scaffolding on this development due to cladding issues. The replacement of cladding will last more than a year. The flat is nice, 1bed without balcony feels a bit small. No mechanical ventilation in the bathroom so it tends to get very warm, smelly and wet (during shower) inside. Kitchen is well equiped, but the fridge is smaller than the freezer. Washing machine is located in one of the cupboards in the kitchen so there's less space for pots and pans.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

This building is close to the river which is very nice, but apart from that is very far away from stores, gyms etc.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Agency and landlord missed telling us about the scaffolding and cladding removal. Very unprofessional, so we will be moving out of the flat. Very disapointed.

What is the best feature of your home:

Building is close to the river, so it's nice for a walk.

There is little storage space inside the apartment. The wardrobes manufacturer was given to us with the wrong name so could not replace or extend it when wanted. There should be a balcony in the apartment and the windows are really hard to clean from the living room. How are the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised? There are times where things get done quickly but when lift took a long time to fix.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

I like the location as the walk along the river is just a stone throw away. the station is really close too. theres nothing i dislike.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The cladding on the outside of the building is flammable.
