Situated within the award-winning BedZED Eco Village in Hackbridge, this beautifully presented three-bedroom split-level maisonette offers a unique blend of contemporary living and eco-conscious design.
Perfectly suited for growing families or those seeking a flexible work-from-home environment, the property boasts a well-thought-out layout across two levels. The ground floor comprises two generously sized bedrooms along with a stylish modern family bathroom, complete with both a separate shower cubicle and a bath.
Stairs lead up and onto an impressive first-floor landing, enhanced by vaulted ceilings and skylights that flood the space with natural light, creating a real sense of openness. The upper level hosts another bedroom with fitted wardrobes, as well as a superb open-plan living area, seamlessly combining lounge and dining spaces, which flow into a modern fitted kitchen featuring integrated appliances—ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
Each house on the estate has exceptional sustainability credentials with the aim of creating a zero-carbon community. An unusually high proportion of the build materials were sourced within 35 miles of the site, and reclaimed materials were used as much as possible; nearly all the steel came from the reworking of Brighton Railway Station.
BedZED has a strong sense of community. The shared facilities are used to host a gardening club, a crafting club, a parent and toddler group, exercise and meditation classes, a monthly BedZED Bar, an annual BedZED art exhibition and a Christmas craft fair.
Outdoor Space
The scheme has a huge communal meadow and lawn bordered by reclaimed troughs, which individual apartments can take charge of planting up. A large seating area is perfect for an evening drink or chatting with the neighbours in this friendly community.
The Area
Hackbridge is situated between Mitcham and the pretty village of Carshalton in the London Borough of Sutton. There are several large parks nearby, including Beddington Park and Mitcham Common, as well as beautiful walks along the River Wandle. BedZED is ideally positioned for trips out of town, with easy access to Surrey and the southeast via the motorway network.
It is an eight-minute walk to Hackbridge Station, where services run to London Victoria in 20 minutes and to Blackfriars, Farringdon, and King’s Cross via the Thameslink line. Mitcham Junction, which is within fifteen minutes’ walk, is on the tram line that runs to Croydon and Wimbledon.
Families are well catered for with excellent nearby schools such as Hackbridge Primary, Culvers House, Spencer Nursery School, Carshalton High School for Girls and St Philomena's Catholic High School for Girls.
The Architect
BedZED was conceived as a collaboration between architect Bill Dunster, whose practice ZEDfactory is a leader in zero-carbon design, environmental agency Bioregional, and Arup engineers. It set ambitious benchmarks in energy efficiency and green construction, aiming to build homes with low running costs and a reduced carbon impact while creating a sustainable and environmentally conscious community. Most homes in the development are south-facing and heated by solar gain, thanks also to their high levels of insulation. BedZED won the RIBA Housing Design Award for sustainability in 2001 and was shortlisted for the prestigious Stirling Prize in 2003.
