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.

BRICKWORKS SAYS

From the outside in, this is a new build that stands out. Just over 10 years old, it’s been designed to take full advantage of this buzzing corner of the capital. It's a development where the designers understood the importance of light and materials, evidenced by the integrated kitchen window and blonde wood flooring that softens the space. And being on the third floor, the sun has nowhere to hide, so you’ll never run out of natural light.

The flat has all the trappings of a modern design done well: storage galore, wide hallways, and a reassuringly high energy rating. The open-plan layout lends itself to being sociable but with distinct areas for getting stuck into cooking (a chef currently lives here) or kicking back with wine or a book. Through the sliding doors, the balcony acts as an extension of the living space. Comfortably large enough to fit furniture, it runs the length of the flat, which means you can enjoy the cityscape from the comfort of your bed.

Cresset Road sits in a quiet pocket within a well-loved part of London. The Wells Street area is big on community, with a locals-owned pub, the Cheshum Arms, and Well Street market, brought back to life thanks to crowd-funding. And with four stations within easy walking distance –– Hackney Downs and Central, Homerton and London Fields –– you are covered for transport too.

THE OWNERS SAY

Living here has been an absolute joy. I’ve loved being in Hackney’s heart, where something’s always happening—whether it’s strolling through Victoria Park on a Sunday morning, grabbing a coffee at one of the amazing independent cafés, or soaking up the buzz of Broadway Market and Well Street Market.

The sense of community here is something special, with friendly locals, creative energy, and a fantastic mix of food, culture, and green spaces. One of the things I’ve really appreciated is how peaceful it is. With Well Street being a one-way road, there’s very little traffic noise, making it a surprisingly quiet retreat in such a vibrant area. At the same time, London Fields, the Lido, and Well Street Common are all within walking distance, so there’s always somewhere to unwind. And with many fantastic restaurants, bars, and galleries nearby, this is the perfect blend of city living and a relaxed community feel.
