The property is located in the Barbican, a prestigious area of the City of London. The Barbican Estate is known for its unique architecture, green spaces, and proximity to excellent transport links. Several underground stations are within a kilometre, providing easy access to the wider city. Furthermore, reputable schools are nearby, which adds to the desirability of the location for families. The area also benefits from its proximity to cultural attractions and amenities. Based on the images, the property appears to be in excellent condition. The kitchen and bathrooms have been recently modernised to a high standard, and the rest of the property is well-maintained and presented. There is no visible evidence of wear and tear or the need for renovation. While the listing mentions a plot size, it is unclear from the provided information whether this includes a private garden. The images show a communal green space, but it’s not definitively stated whether this is for the exclusive use of residents of Defoe House. Considering the property’s location in the desirable Barbican area, its excellent condition, and the relatively large size (1,165 sq ft) compared to the average for the area (1,312 sq ft), the list price of £1,895,000 is at the higher end of the market. However, given the high demand for properties in this area and the modern finishes of the flat, the price may be justified. The average price per square foot in the area is £1,330, while the price per square foot for this property is approximately £1,626. This is a premium, but again, may be reflective of the property’s condition, location, and amenities.

Therefore, we give this property 8 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
