A cluster of expertly renovated Victorian barns form this beautiful five-bedroom home. Connected via a more recent, central barn, it offers a light-filled, voluminous double-height kitchen and dining area with bespoke kitchen and living wall filled with greenery. In the sitting room too there is a sense of space, amplified by vaulted and exposed trusses, while banks of glazing look out onto the fields beyond.

Set within a conservation area in the leafy London borough of Bromley, this five-bedroom detached house has been completely reconfigured by the current owners to an exceptional standard, and includes both a home gym/cinema and generous rear garden. The expansive L-shaped open plan living and kitchen area is built for entertaining. It’s easily accessible for guests too, with central London under 20 minutes away by train.

Surrounded by almost nine and a half acres of land, this remarkable house sits in a private position near the market town of Tenterden. Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s residential work, natural materials carve out elegant, light-filled living spaces, and connections to the outdoors are upheld throughout. Reighton Wood features a variety of living spaces, a separate two-bedroom annexe and swimming pool, along with an architect-designed pool pavilion, tennis court and cedar hot tub.

There's no escaping the fact that Domus is a party house. Designed by the architect Alan Chambers, this exceptional Grade II-listed modern masterpiece is set into the gentle slope of its five-and-a-half acre gardens. Intended for creating, communing and well, dancing, Domus (which was built in 1958) is thought to be one of the first modern houses in the country. Its expansive, fluid open-plan living spaces have been meticulously restored by the current owners, who have maintained the fabulously fun entertaining room, complete with a circular underfloor-lit glass dance floor and a built-in bar.

This impressive Grade II-listed former chapel, originally built in 1752, has been transformed with an exacting, creative eye. The remarkable open-plan living space unfolds with dramatic effect, with vaulted ceilings, huge ecclesiastical arched windows and original wainscoting panelling retaining the chapel’s historical character. Yet it has a homely feel, sensitively divided into cooking, dining and living areas, with a Devol kitchen and handcrafted marble countertops. Marshfield is a handsome, well-served Cotswolds village, while Bath is just 20 minutes away.

This captivating home in the traditional village of Meldreth, Cambridgeshire is formed of a period cottage combined with a striking modern extension to create two distinct living spaces – which could lend itself to longer-term guests or multi-generational living – while the generous inside/outside main living/dining/kitchen space can accommodate a crowd. The house sits in a quarter acre of land and has a large garden with summer house, for year-round hosting.

Creatively redesigned by Ivo Carew Architects, this three-story, three-bedroom house lies on a gated cul-de-sac in Peckham. Although just minutes from the attractions of Peckham, it is a surprisingly private location – making it perfect for late-night parties, according to the current owners. The open-plan L-shaped ground floor is inherently social, leading to a more private upper floor; at the top, the distinctive glass crown, inspired by Tate Modern, allows natural light to cascade in.
