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
Brickworks says Set on a quiet Hackney street, this two-bedroom Victorian conversion gets the balance right: Modernised where it matters, while retaining the warmth and character that give a home its sense of history.
The open-plan living space is the heart, with panelling, cornicing and a bay sash window sitting happily alongside a contemporary kitchen and considered lighting.
Then the bespoke under-stair storage is smart and roomy, giving everything its place.
The principal bedroom is tucked at the back overlooking the garden, while the second doubles neatly as a study or spare room, with direct access outside.
Head across the decking and down into a surprisingly large private garden, with lawn, patio and raised beds.
It’s somewhere for long lunches, growing things, friends, or simply disappearing with a book. For a flat in E8, it’s quite the luxury.
Cecilia Road has a friendly, community-minded feel, with Dalston's restaurants, galleries, nightlife and culture all within easy reach, while the street itself offers a welcome retreat.
Wellness spots, weekly markets, note-worthy dining and independent shops are all a stroll away, with London Overground and National Rail connections nearby when you need to get further afield.
The owner says I fell in love with the flat the moment I entered it for my first viewing.
The gorgeous, classy, modern yet endlessly cosy interior, the beautiful light falling through the bay window (even in winter), the patio with morning sun, the garden is an oasis in the middle of Hackney.
Everything one could ever need nearby. My first ever own home and I genuinely felt grateful for this flat every single day. Everyone visiting me loves it, too.
It's a really special flat and I hope the next owner will love it as much as I have. Points to consider Energy Performance Certificate (EPC): Current Energy Rating C. Potential Energy Rating B.

The legal bit While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide.
Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details.
Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct.
However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others.
Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances. Rear Garden (12.30m x 5.72m)
