Spacious Bright Flat Close to Sagrada..

The flat is located in a 1910 building in the area of Clot. Clot is at the border with the Eixample and Poblenou and it is one of the new interesting areas of Barcelona.

The property has a total surface of 91 m2, distributed into 3 bedrooms (of which 2 double with fitted wardrobes), a bright lounge, kitchen, a spacious bathroom, a small studio and a gallery (area that used to be a balcony and that can be used as additional lounge space or studio).

The flat is on the second floor of a building with only four neighbours. It is undergoing complete renovation and it will be sold refurbished. It will be ready at the end of June 2017.

Everything will be new, including all the installations (electricity, pipes, gas), and the air conditioning system.

The pictures show flats refurbished by the same owner that reflect the style of this apartment.

The street is very quiet and the flat is exposed on two sides, which ensures light all day long.

The area is at walking distance from the Sagrada Familia and enjoys some of the best transport links of the city with three of the main undergroung lines (L1 that crosses the whole city; L2 that goes straight to Paseo de Gracia in a few minutes; L5 that travels through the upper part of the Eixample), several bus lines that reach most part of the city, and the station of Clot-Arago with trains that reach the Northern and Southern coasts of Barcelona and the direct train to the airport (30 minutes, without changes).

The area offers all types of shops and services and it is 5 minute walk from the new area of Glories that is undergoing complete renovation. It features a large shopping centre, a multi-screen cinema, plenty of new restaurants and bars, and it will accommodate one of the largest public parks of the city.

All this makes this property not only an excellent investment (prices are still affordable here and will increase, especially when the renovation of Glories is finished) but also the opportunity of buying a good quality large flat at a price impossible to find in other areas. Thanks to the excellent transport and services, the area works well also for buy-to-let investments.

CLOT & GLORIES: ONE OF THE NEW MOST INTERESTING AREAS OF THE CITY

Clot is a residential area that borders the areas of Sagrada Familia and Poble Nou. It is mainly inhabited by local Catalan families and people are exceptionally friendly in Clot.

Despite not being on the tourist guide books, Clot is the home of several hotels that are constantly full thanks to the excellent transport links and quick connection to the centre.

Clot is one of the best connected areas of Barcelona, with three main underground lines (line 1 that crosses the whole city passing through Plaza Catalunya and Plaza de Espanya, line 2 that goes straight to Paseo de Gracia, and line 5 that goes towards the North of the city); plenty of bus lines that reach all the other parts of the city; and a train station (Clot-Arago) with trains that reach every destination on the coasts and go directly to the international airport (in 30 minutes). From Clot it is possible to walk to the Sagrada Familia while Paseo de Gracia can be reached in a few minute bus or tube ride.

Additionally, the new international station that will soon open at Sagrera, is at walking distance (or two stops with L1).

If you travel by car, the Avenida Meridiana allows you to reach Clot and to leave Barcelona very quickly, without wasting time in the local street traffic.

Clot is a very old part of the city. Already active as a Medieval village, it became a very rich area by supplying goods to the city, in particular a very high quality honey. It was known as 'Clot de Miel' for the large amount of honey produced here. Later, it developed into a centre of textile factories and windmills. This made some of the locals quite wealthy and in the old part of Clot, it is still possible to see nice houses from the end of the 19th Century/beginning of the 20th.

Clot has a nice pedestrian centre, along Calle Rogent. Here you can find the local market (Mercado del Clot, several cafes with outdoor terraces, and plenty of bakeries, greengrocers, pet shops, small grocery shops, and much more.

If you fancy shopping on a larger scale, you can reach the Glories shopping centre in a few minute walk.

The adjacent area of Glories was until recently only known for the shopping centre and the for the famous Agbar Tower but what makes it a very interesting area now, is its renovation project that is scheduled to be completed in 2018.

The project includes several major changes. The traffic of the large avenues that cross here (Avenida Meridiana, Gran Via and Avenida Diagonal) will be redirected underground.

The area will feature the new Museum of Design, and the New Encants, which is the oldest flee market of the city (over 700 years old!) has already been moved to the new structure.

But the most important change will be the creation of a new 140,000 m2 park that will be one of the largest of the city. The park will include different areas dedicated to sport, leisure, shows, and learning spaces.
