BRICKWORKS SAYS

This one-bedroom flat, with interiors designed by Abel Sloane, is tucked within a classic 1960s London estate: modest in height, rich in greenery and full of neighbourly warmth. Quiet in all the right ways, it has the kind of easy, grounded atmosphere that quickly feels like home.

Poured concrete floors run throughout, with materials and textures taking centre stage. The kitchen, designed by Dean Edmonds, features stainless-steel cupboard fronts and worktops paired with warm wood grain, which softens the look and ties everything together. In the living and dining area, the glass-fronted balcony on the first floor offers peaceful views of the communal gardens below. The spacious hallway includes built-in cupboards and a small nook that serves as a micro-study and pocket library. There’s plenty of potential here, but it already lives beautifully.

And then there’s Camberwell itself—vibrant, creative and famously unfussy. You’ve got Silk Road for unbeatable Chinese, Lala Books for slow browsing, and Cable Café when you want live music. Transport links make it simple to sweep into central London, yet it’s just as effortless to escape the city entirely when the mood strikes, whether for countryside rambles or coastal days out.

THE OWNERS SAY

We love our flat, the estate, the communal gardens, and the area so much—it’s an incredible, warm and quiet place to live. The neighbours are friendly, considerate and kind. We're surrounded by peace and quiet due to the communal gardens, which we routinely walk or sit within—they’re so lovely.

We also love being so close to Camberwell for the beautiful pubs, restaurants and independent shops. We're in a great corner of south-east London; within walking distance of Camberwell, Oval, Kennington, Brixton, Stockwell, and Elephant & Castle. It's also a 30-minute walk to Waterloo and a 45-minute walk to Covent Garden, so exploring the city on foot is really easy.
