End-of-terrace homes in England and Wales
Royal William Square is a 20-home estate built in 2007 just behind the dunes of Camber Sands beach. On the end of one of the terraces is a three-bedroom house built with a focus on being low carbon. It has a sedum planted green roof and double-glazed timber doors. A communal air-source heat pump services the neighbourhood while solar panels heat the water. There is underfloor heating running downstairs. To enjoy the environment around it, the house has two balconies, a terrace and a patio. £495,000 The Modern House 020 3795 5920 Photograph: PR IMAGE At the end of a multicoloured terrace is a three-bedroom cottage in pale-blue pebbledash – which is fitting, given it is just minutes from the sea. The separate kitchen and sitting room are on the ground floor, with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first and another bedroom in the eaves, with views across Start Bay. Outside is a courtyard garden and a collection of outbuildings, which have been converted into a store, study and utility room. Halfway between Dartmouth and Kingsbridge, at one end of a beautiful stretch of beach. £475,000.

It is close to the shops, restaurants, bars and nurseries around Northcote Road with 89 hectares of Clapham Common parkland on its doorstep. Spanning four floors, the handsome house has five bedrooms and five bathrooms and a sociable kitchen with a roof lantern bringing more light into the back of the property. The worktops look out on to the walled and neat low-maintenance garden. £2m.

On the high street, in the centre of the village, is a stone cottage with three bedrooms. The kitchen runs the width of the property, opening into the dining room. There is a separate living room. For sea swimmers there is an outside hot-water shower in the garden and storage buildings. The EPC energy efficiency rating is down at E with a potential of C. £390,000.

Recently renovated, there are glazed concertina doors that fold back to link the kitchen and garden. There is a path at the side of the kitchen that has not yet been completed. Within the footprint, the owners have also managed to carve out a wine cellar and a cinema room. Hale station is just a few minutes' walk away. £785,000.

Homes for sale in England with fabulous kitchens
On the outskirts of this rural hamlet is a complex of farm buildings, including a five-bedroom barn-style home. Built of stone with underfloor heating, a zoned heating system and an air source heat pump, it is energy efficient. The heart of the house is the open-plan living room, dining area and kitchen. The handmade cabinets are painted in a deep, mossy green to match the bookshelves that line the hallway. Other features include a boiling water tap and a grand Belfast sink. Bifold doors open on to the garden, which has a wild swimming pool. £1.39m. Savills, 01722 426 820 Photograph: Savills In this town on the north bank of the River Stour is an early 16th-century house for sale. The Grade I-listed timber-frame property and its historic detailing have been beautifully preserved. Each room is a museum to different eras: the original inglenook fireplaces remain intact; there's a carved staircase from the early 1600s; and the decorative chimney stacks are Edwardian. The kitchen cabinets are painted in a more modern soft turquoise and the back door opens onto the gardens, which run down to the river. £1m. Blue Book Agency, 07967 555 546 Photograph: Blue Book Agency This eponymous residential neighbourhood and high street sit between Notting Hill and Paddington. On the corner of Westbourne Grove and Hereford Street, and positioned temptingly above a pizzeria, a first-floor one-bedroom apartment with high ceilings and decorative coving is for sale. The open-plan living area has dual sash windows with a bench seat below, which doubles up as a sofa and faces the kitchen – which is half art installation, half functional space. £600,000. The Modern House, 020 3795 5920 Photograph: Toby Nima/The Modern House Five miles from the town of Ripon and on the edge of the Nidderdale Valley area of outstanding natural beauty, this village boasts a pub and a shop. In its centre is a detached stone house with plenty of period features and touches of contemporary design for sale. The joinery in the traditional kitchen is painted electric blue and there is a flagstone floor. In the sitting room is a floating glass staircase that helps to transmit light in the centre of the house and which leads up to four bedrooms. £800,000. Strutt & Parker, 07768 427 185 Photograph: Strutt & Parker Down the Old Baptist Court, next to the chapel, is a narrow enclave of homes, and at the end of the terrace is a red-brick cottage for sale. It has been fully renovated. There are two entry points: the front living room and the side kitchen. The latter is decorated in a collection of off-whites with handmade cabinets and marble countertops. There is room for a round table, too. Upstairs are two bedrooms. The courtyard garden is stocked with lavender, hydrangea and yew hedges, and it is a short walk to the banks of the River Avon. £395,000. Inigo, 020 3687 3071 Photograph: Inigo
