Brickworks says

It’s a joy to see a flat with all the personality befitting a property of this age, with contemporary additions that enhance rather than work against it. Occupying the top three floors of a late Victorian terrace and overlooking the rooftops and trees of Deptford, it's a home that keeps on giving. On the first floor, the large living room strikes a cosy tone—perhaps it’s the new sash windows—but it is also undeniably elegant. Next door, the understated kitchen in sage green fits right in.

The original floorboards, painted white, create a minimalist backdrop that allows the delightful angles of the slanted walls to stand out. The bathroom, contrasting with the muted tones elsewhere, fizzes with vibrant colour and gorgeous brass fittings. The current owner has done a superb job with upgrades, seamlessly integrating storage under the stairs and extending into the loft to create a pared-back and practical space.

Deptford, like the flat, brims with personality. A thriving creative scene has led to Deptford X becoming an established annual festival. Dining out can be a decision-making nightmare, with Deptford Market Yard hosting international flavours and delicious eateries like Marcellas and Klose & Soan adding to the options. But Deptford hasn’t lost touch with its roots; a visit to the market or one of its wonderful historic boozers will attest to that.

The owners say

Expect the unexpected with this flat. From its size, to views out the back, to its calming vibe, we’ve honestly loved every minute living here and we’re excited for someone else to make it their own.

As for Deptford, it truly is one of London’s hidden gems. Whatever you're looking for, you’ll find it here. Whether it’s relaxed lunches in the square or underneath the railway arches, dinner at one of London’s best Italian restaurants or live music at one of the many bars or pubs, Deptford has it all. For all the change over the past decade since I have lived here, it has retained its eclectic soul and strong sense of community—best demonstrated by the bi-weekly market where cash is still king and the arts and film festival.

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.
