We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A second-floor apartment in Wyles House - a striking contemporary building positioned in the landscaped gardens of St John at Hackney, an 18th-century Grade II listed church.
Beautifully presented and moments from the heart of Hackney Central.
INSIDE The apartment extends to near 560 sq ft and is thoughtfully arranged around a generous open-plan reception room and kitchen, measuring over 18 ft in width.
Bathed in natural light from full-height glazing, this space offers excellent volume and flexibility, comfortably accommodating distinct living and dining zones.
Wide timber flooring runs throughout, complementing the clean architectural lines and calm, neutral palette.
The kitchen is sleek and contemporary, finished with handleless cabinetry, integrated appliances and a minimalist glass splashback, designed to sit quietly within the space while remaining highly functional.
Sliding doors open directly onto a private balcony, creating a seamless connection between inside and out and offering a tranquil outlook across surrounding trees and historic church grounds.
The bedroom is well-proportioned and serene, with space for a large bed and additional furniture, alongside built-in storage.
Oversized windows draw in soft daylight and reinforce the apartment’s sense of calm.
A contemporary bathroom completes the home, finished with crisp tiling, a full-size bath with overhead shower, modern sanitaryware and integrated storage.
The apartment’s balcony is generously sized and sheltered, providing a private spot for morning coffee or evening drinks while enjoying elevated views over the green space below.
NEIGHBOURHOOD & CONNECTIONS Prodigal Square is quietly tucked away, yet moments from the heart of Hackney Central, with Hackney Central Overground Station just a short walk away.
Enviably located in the gardens of an ancient churchyard, the penthouse basks in the grandeur of the adjacent St John at Hackney – an 18th Century, Grade II listed church.
Living in the heart of London’s fashionable E8 postcode, culture, arts and creativity are on your doorstep.
A stone’s throw away is the iconic Hackney Empire, as are local favourites Broadway Market, London Fields with its Lido and the world famous Columbia Road Flower Market.
If its food and drink that you're in to, you're spoilt for choice in Hackney. Our favourites include Michelin starred Behind and Casa Fofo.
