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
This home exemplifies what can be achieved when the canvas is small, but the care and attention are great. The owner's design eye is evident everywhere, from the kitchen's industrial edge to the terrazzo tiles in the bathroom. We particularly love the earthiness of the exposed plaster in the living space and bedroom, which softens the space and creates visual depth.
But it's not just aesthetics, although they are superbly finished. Real thought has gone into what makes a house a home, like the additional insulation, updated heating system, or the kitchen pantry and double oven that will keep foodies happy. And if that's not all, a communal garden wraps around the property, extending your living space and providing green views from your windows.
Beadnell Road is in a charming corner of South London. Soak up the village vibes of Honor Oak Park, or meander to Forest Hill to pick up a coffee at Pantry or a pint at the Sylvan Post. Peckham and New Cross are just down the road when you're in the mood for something a bit more lively, or dial it down at one of the many green spaces on your doorstep.
THE OWNERS SAY
Over the past two years, we've lovingly transformed this flat into a calm and peaceful retreat, and it's become a place we truly adore. We were determined to create a space with a proper kitchen—somewhere we could cook together and enjoy the process. Today, this kitchen has become the heart of our home. Guests naturally gravitate here, making it the perfect spot for hosting.
The flat is part of a small building, and it almost feels like we have a building of our own since we only share the front door with one other flat. This adds to the secluded feel of the place. We also have access to a lovely shared garden, which we use regularly for BBQs with friends in the summer. In three words, our life here is easy, peaceful, and fun. Easy, because the flat is modern and liveable; peaceful, thanks to our quiet and calm neighbourhood; and fun, because we've never had to compromise on access to everything London has to offer.

landmarks
1 Horniman Museum and Gardens
This local gem is always popular, almost like a mini natural history museum. The museum itself houses an aquarium, thousands of stuffed animals including the ‘celebrity’ giant walrus, musical instruments and anthropological artefacts collected from around the world. In the beautiful landscaped gardens are a Butterfly House and an animal walk with alpacas, sheep and chickens. There are wide reaching views of the London skyline from the Bandstand and on Sundays local producers sell their wares here.
2 Jones of Brockley
Your one-stop shop for everything and anything yummy. Pick up store cupboard staples, something special for dinner or the best of the best in picky bits. And don’t worry if you overload (it’s easily done) - they deliver!
3 Mayow park
The local park has something for everyone - tennis courts for those feeling active, a playground for the smalls, and a terrific cafe to enjoy a drink afterwards.
4 Malaysian Deli
Loved by locals, and for good reason. The staff are friendly, the food reasonably priced and most importantly, it wins hands down on the flavour front.
5 Peckham Rye Park & Common
Wandering through Peckham Rye Common in 1767, William Blake had a vision of “a tree filled with angels, bright angelic wings bespangling every bough like stars.” Angels may be thin on the ground these days, but you’ll still find a great café, adventure playground and the beautiful Sexby Garden, with its fragrant rose beds and wisteria-clad pergola.
