Standing proud within the rolling countryside, close to the Kent coast, Finglesham Grange is an enchanting country house with period features dating back to the 17th century. Every corner of the home lends itself to creating a spectacular Christmas setting, but it’s the show-stopping reception hall and galleried staircase that creates the most atmosphere - where a large Christmas tree would fit perfectly.

This wing of a Georgian country house in West Sussex is equally impressive while offering a more manageable portion of a traditional country home. With period detailing, sash windows and a striking sweeping staircase, the house carries plenty of grandeur. The main entrance hall and the front of the building alone give a glimpse of just how magical it could feel during the Christmas season.

With London becoming even more alive in the run up to Christmas, this Victorian townhouse couldn’t be better placed, within walking distance of Borough Market, St Paul’s Cathedral and the Globe - the capital’s festive atmosphere is very much on its doorstep. The home is just as special inside, with vaulted rooms featuring exposed beams that could be elevated even more with Christmas décor.

Originally constructed in 1689 for Squire John Fleet and later used as a school, this house continues to impress today. Beyond its six bedrooms, the reception rooms really speak for themselves - from the dining room for a glamorous Christmas dinner to the drawing room for post supper drinks - each space would come alive even more during the Christmas season.

With soaring ceiling heights, arched doorways and fireplaces in every room, this apartment on Drayton Gardens has the feel of a country home despite its prime Chelsea location. Hosting here would be spectacular, with an entrance hall leading to two reception rooms that would create a stunning backdrop for opening presents on Christmas morning.
