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.

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.

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
