Summary - Barbican, Defoe House EC2Y 8ND
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Second-floor home with garden views and long lease, moments from major transport links.
Second-floor apartment with views over Barbican residents’ gardens
Set on the second floor of Defoe House, this recently renovated Type 21 apartment offers bright living with views over the Barbican residents’ gardens. Full-height windows open onto a balcony/fire-escape off the reception room, while a modern kitchen with Bosch appliances and chevron tiling gives practical style. Both double bedrooms have fitted cupboards, and the bathroom has a new bath, re-tiled walls and a separate WC.
The property benefits from a very long lease (171 years) and is sold chain free, making purchase straightforward. Its central location places residents within easy walking distance of Barbican, Farringdon and Moorgate stations and the Barbican Arts Centre with restaurants and cinemas — ideal for city professionals and cultural buyers.
Running costs reflect central Barbican living: an above-average service charge (£6,361 pa) and higher council tax band should be factored into budgets. Crime levels in the area are above average; buyers should weigh local security and lifestyle priorities. Overall, the flat suits someone seeking an immediately habitable, characterful Barbican home with long-term tenure and excellent transport links.
