A fireplace is an essential feature for those wanting you-know-who to pay a visit on Christmas Eve. There’s nothing quite as festive as a roaring fire with stockings hung from the mantle. Like presents under the tree, fireplaces come in all shapes and sizes, from traditional Victorian and Edwardian hearths to contemporary wood burners.
With only four weeks until Christmas, we thought it was fitting (festive?) to share a few gorgeous fireplaces from some of our properties for sale and to let throughout London.
Cheriton Square, Balham, SW17
For sale: Situated close to Tooting Bec Common, this stunning four-bedroom family home is presented in a contemporary style throughout. Crisp white Victorian detail such as cornicing, dado railing and two beautiful original fireplaces provide a classic balance to an otherwise modern interior.
Ranelagh Avenue, Barnes, SW13
For sale: Without the fire roaring, this sleek, glass-enclosed gas fireplace blends in seamlessly with the interiors of this spacious open-plan reception room.
The whole space above forms a lovely over-mantle, ideal for Christmas stockings!
Yardley Street, Islington, WC1X
This three-bedroom property is certainly unique, with bright interiors and enviably located just moments from Exmouth Market.
With ornate features like this deer-horn chandelier and roaring fire akin to a beautiful French ski chalet, we can’t help feeling Christmassy!
Park Street, Mayfair, W1K
For sale: This exceptional two-bedroom apartment is situated moments from Hyde Park’s infamous Winter Wonderland. With a beautiful chandelier reminiscent of falling snowflakes, just imagine the festive feeling this apartment emits once the stockings are hung from the mantle!
To rent: An ideal winter Sunday? Cosy up in front of this sleek fire and enjoy your favourite Christmas film (you can’t beat Elf!).
Is it just us, or does the lighting feature remind you of snowballs?
To rent: From the outside, this stunning mews house could be part of Santa’s hidden workshop. Step inside and you’re greeted by this smart, built-in wood burner, perfect for keeping you warm whilst enjoying Christmas lunch.
Whilst your calendar may already be bursting with Christmas events and festive catch-ups with friends and family, there’s still time to find your dream home before you start rockin’ around the Christmas tree.
