BRICKWRKS is a Bedford-based property management company rethinking what rental income can look like. We turn HMOs into design-led co-living spaces and single lets into premium short-stay accommodation, fully managed, fully hands-off, and built for how people live now.

We know what today’s tenants and guests actually want: flexible options, smart design, and a sense of connection. So that’s what we deliver — stylish shared homes and short-stay spots with local roots.

Behind BRICKWRKS is Mary-Jane Attafuah, a strategist with 14 years of experience leading communications programmes, sustainability and transformation for global brands and FTSE 100 companies. With a background in strategy and client relations, Mary-Jane ensures every BRICKWRKS space is thoughtfully designed and expertly managed to create a service that guests love and landlords trust.

Our Why

Built in 1897, Bedford’s original brickworks wasn’t just about bricks, it built community. Home to the world’s largest kiln, producing over 500 million bricks a year, it shaped not only the town, but the lives around it. Stewartby Village, and Bedford itself, grew from its foundations, building a legacy of innovation and connection.

Today, BRICKWRKS carries that spirit forward. Rooted in Bedford’s past, we’re creating spaces fit for today’s world, that bring people together, just like they did back then.
