About this listing

A first home with considerably more character than the average city apartment... Tucked away within the secluded courtyard setting of Hockleys Yard, this beautifully characterful one-bedroom apartment offers an opportunity for a first-time buyer to own something genuinely distinctive in the heart of Nottingham city centre. Hockleys Yard is an intimate development of just seven apartments, quietly positioned off Heathcoat Street yet only moments from the independent shops, restaurants, cafés and nightlife for which Hockley and the Lace Market have become so well known. Step inside and the appeal of the apartment quickly becomes apparent. The principal living space is a wonderfully individual open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, where contemporary finishes sit alongside the building's original character. Dramatic exposed timber beams cross the vaulted ceiling, while sections of exposed brickwork add warmth and texture to the room. Several windows bring natural light into the space and, at approximately 3.65m x 3.43m for the living area, there is plenty of room to create separate sitting and dining zones without losing the relaxed, open-plan feel. The adjoining kitchen measures approximately 3.65m x 3.01m and is fitted with a range of wall and base units together with work surfaces, sink and drainer and integrated appliances. A peninsula-style breakfast bar creates a natural divide between the kitchen and living space and provides an easy spot for morning coffee, dinner or working from home. The bedroom is another generously proportioned room, measuring approximately 3.65m x 3.96m, with enough space for a substantial double bed and additional bedroom furniture. Exposed structural timber continues the character seen elsewhere in the apartment. A separate bathroom includes a bath with shower over, wash hand basin and WC, complemented by tiled flooring and a heated towel rail. The entrance hall provides additional circulation and useful storage, while the apartment extends to approximately 45 sq m / 485.6 sq ft overall. Outside, Hockleys Yard feels quite different from a conventional city-centre apartment development. Brick elevations, external walkways, established planting and the enclosed courtyard environment give the development an almost hidden-away quality despite its exceptionally central position. Living in Hockley For a first-time buyer wanting to make the most of city life without relying on a car, the location is difficult to ignore. Heathcoat Street sits immediately alongside Hockley and the Lace Market, two of Nottingham's most distinctive neighbourhoods. Hockley is particularly known for its independent shops, coffee houses, restaurants, bars, vintage stores and creative businesses, with Broadway Cinema, Rough Trade and the surrounding Broad Street and Carlton Street area all close by. The neighbourhood has retained much of the architecture that gives this side of Nottingham its identity. The adjoining Lace Market forms part of one of the city's historic conservation areas, where medieval street patterns sit alongside Georgian buildings and substantial Victorian warehouses associated with Nottingham's internationally important lace industry. For everyday shopping, Nottingham's main retail core and Victoria Centre are within easy walking distance, while the streets around Hockley provide a particularly strong selection of independent places to eat and drink. Transport connections are equally convenient. Lace Market tram stop is around 230 metres away, putting Nottingham's wider tram network within only a few minutes' walk. Nottingham Railway Station is approximately half a mile away, around a 15-minute walk, providing direct rail connections beyond the city. It means weekends, commuting, evenings out and everyday errands can all happen largely on foot. Why we think first-time buyers should take a closer look... There are plenty of one-bedroom apartments in Nottingham city centre. There are considerably fewer that combine this level of period character, vaulted ceilings, exposed brickwork and timber beams with a secluded courtyard setting and a location where Hockley is effectively on your doorstep. Offered with the benefit of a long lease, share of freehold and no onward chain, Hockleys Yard represents an appealing alternative to a conventional modern apartment and could make a particularly memorable first home. Early viewing is strongly recommended.
