This large, well presented and very well cared for one bedroom flat (Type 58) is on the 6th floor of Defoe House, generally regarded as one of the most desirable Barbican blocks. It has a bright and spacious L shaped south facing reception room with ceiling to floor glass and a sliding door leading onto the balcony.

There is a door leading out onto the open balcony/fire escape. The three-piece bathroom and separate WC lead off the corridor, and these also have their original fittings. Background underfloor heating throughout the flat is included within the service charge.
