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

Modern apartments can be so satisfying when the design is right, and this two-bedroom block is spot on. There's nothing run-of-the-mill about the building, with handsome brickwork and a pleasing gable roof.

Inside, the bright living space is comfortably large enough to accommodate areas for working and unwinding. The clever use of colour draws you toward the kitchen, inviting you to pull up a pew at the kitchen island. Beyond, there is a private balcony that stretches the length of the living room, providing a space to eat, looking out over a green courtyard.

The two bedrooms are pleasingly similar in size and are filled with natural light thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows. But it's the storage options that particularly impress. As well as a handy nook in the main bedroom, the flat has not one, not two, but three built-in cupboards, meaning you can keep a busy life just that bit more organised.

York Court is ideal for anyone wanting to immerse themselves in Hackney life, whether daytime meandering or late-night revelling. It is also so close to two of East London's most loved green spaces that they will soon become your new backyards.

THE OWNERS SAY

We have loved every minute of our time in this flat. It's warm, bright, and spacious, with an open-plan kitchen and living room that are perfect for entertaining and family life. Sunlight brightens our afternoons in the bedrooms year-round, and the kitchen catches the morning and afternoon light during the warmer months.

The development is small, and we've formed strong friendships among our neighbours. We love being within walking distance of everything we need for daily life. We will particularly miss having Victoria Park, just a few minutes walk down the street, as well as Broadway Market, London Fields, and Victoria Park Village, which are all nearby, with their bakeries and independent businesses.

We are sad to be leaving––but the pull to be closer to family is real. We hope the next owners enjoy living here every bit as much as we have.
