Feast Your Eyes: six beautiful dining rooms perfect for any festive dinner
As the winter festivities begin, all eyes turn to the dining room as the heart of the celebrations. Ahead of Thanksgiving, we’ve selected six beautiful dining rooms, from properties currently on the market, to inspire your plans.
Best in Show: Hove, East Sussex
This textured mews house was built in a converted 19th-century stable block and has exceptional patinated interiors. The large dining room has reclaimed-timber flooring and exposed-brick and bare-plaster lime walls.
Heart of Glass: Lewes, East Sussex
Completed in 2015, this Grand Designs house sits proudly on the banks for the River Ouse. The dining space is at the heart of the open-plan ground floor with spectacular views up and down the peaceful river.
House of Parliament: Roderick Road, London NW3
Situated at the Parliament Hill end of Hampstead Heath, this Victorian townhouse has been immaculately reconfigured to celebrate light and spatial versatility. The kitchen-dining room is the focal point of the house with a glazed wall opening out onto a courtyard garden.
Into the Blue: Mornington Terrace, London NW1
This enchantingly-converted period property is located next to Regent’s Park. A bespoke dining area adjoins the ground-floor kitchen, with beautifully designed in-built seating.
Mix and Match: Willes Road, London NW5
Inside this Kentish Town terrace is a large south-west facing dining room, complete with sash windows, original wooden shutters, and a sensitively-curated, pared-back interior.
Industrial Revolution: St John Street, London EC1
This atmospheric kitchen-dining room sits within an extraordinary Clerkenwell apartment. Converted from a former warehouse building, the concrete pillars, exposed brick and high ceilings of the property reflect the industrial past of the building.
