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 rare fourth-floor penthouse in Colonnade Apartments on Wilton Way, offering 1221 sq ft of lateral living space, a large south-facing roof terrace and an impressive dual-aspect reception room, with original details including parquet flooring and period columns.
The apartment is arranged around a particularly generous reception and dining room, with windows on two sides bringing excellent natural light into the space.
Original columns and parquet flooring give the room a distinctive character, while a separate kitchen sits just off the reception, retaining a clear division between the cooking and living areas.
There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms positioned at opposite ends of the apartment.
The principal bedroom has built-in storage and parquet flooring, while the second is also a substantial double. A family bathroom and separate WC complete the internal accommodation.
One of the apartment's standout features is the large private south-facing roof terrace.
Accessed directly from the reception room, it provides a substantial area of outside space with an open aspect across the surrounding rooftops.
The fourth-floor position, dual-aspect layout and generous windows give the apartment a particularly bright and open feel.
Colonnade Apartments occupies a prominent position on Wilton Way in the heart of Hackney, with the penthouse taking full advantage of its position at the top of the building.
Wilton Way is one of Hackney's most popular neighbourhood streets, with an excellent collection of independent cafés, restaurants and pubs, including the renowned Violet bakery.
London Fields and its lido are also within easy reach, along with the wider selection of restaurants, bars and shops around Mare Street and Broadway Market.
Hackney Central station provides London Overground services on the Mildmay line, while nearby Hackney Downs offers direct trains to Liverpool Street, making the location particularly convenient for the City.
The property is being sold chain free and includes a share of the freehold with viewings starting immediately.
