Often, kitchens are much more than simply a place to cook and eat. They’re where we enjoy huge amounts of time with our family and friends.
1. Barnes, London
Imagine preparing your breakfast at the high-spec counter while gazing through the bi-fold doors at your generous garden. This five-bedroom home is full of naturally bright spaces, from the modern open-plan kitchen with skylights to the two reception rooms, study, and en-suite bedrooms. And for when the weather warms up, the westerly facing garden has two paved patios for entertaining, along with a useful outhouse including a guest cloakroom.

2. Warwick, Warwickshire
How about a kitchen designed by Christopher Peters? The room wows your guests with a large central island, a wooden countertop and breakfast bar, soft-closing cabinetry, integrated appliances – and don’t forget the speaker system for any parties. French doors connect the walled back garden, while the dining area and snug form part of the flowing design. What’s more, at 2,450 square feet, the rest of the Georgian townhouse lives up to the same elegant standards, in the heart of Warwick’s prestigious conservation area.

4. Dartmouth, Devon
What sets this three-bedroom home apart is its picturesque location by the Britannia Royal Naval College and the River Dart. The kitchen doesn’t just have excellent workspace and an eye-level electric double oven. Its open-plan design flows into the sitting room and dining room, where you can enjoy views across the rear deck, garden, and the river. The town centre is an easy stroll away, or else you can simply relax in the well-maintained Edwardian home, spotting boats on the water and listening out for the Dart Valley Steam Train.

5. Great Yarmouth, Norfolk
Admittedly, this kitchen is one glistening room among many in the private country estate. There’s an endless sense of luxury: from your arrival along the sweeping driveway past nearly two acres of landscaped grounds and a heated swimming pool, to the interior that includes five bedrooms and a dedicated children’s zone. Yes, it’s hard to picture a more party-friendly place for family gatherings, while the village of Filby is almost close enough to smell the award-winning flowers.

Then there’s the sizeable lounge with a free-standing log burner, and four bedrooms paired with four en-suite shower rooms. While offering a relaxing lifestyle, the contemporary home also considers its environmental impact thanks to excellent insulation, double glazing and a heat pump.
