Set within Roman House in the Barbican, this one-bedroom apartment offers compact, contemporary city living with high-spec touches. Floor-to-ceiling windows and wood flooring create a bright, modern living area, while underfloor heating and integrated kitchen appliances deliver low-key comfort for daily life.
Residents benefit from a 24-hour concierge, a communal gym and exceptionally long leasehold (approx. 992–999 years), making the home straightforward to own and let. Transport links are excellent — about 0.2 miles to Moorgate and 0.5 miles to Barbican — placing central London offices, restaurants and cultural attractions within easy reach.
Be aware of running costs: the annual service charge is approximately £6,090.36 (2025 figures) and ground rent is £500 per year. Council tax is Band E. The apartment is a modest 511 sq ft, so it suits a single professional or couple seeking a low-maintenance central base rather than a larger family home.
This property appeals to first-time buyers and professionals wanting an established, well-serviced development in a very affluent central location. It also offers rental potential, though investors should factor in elevated service charges and central London tenancy dynamics.
