The home is the heart of family life. For many, it’s almost an extension of the family itself, offering security, a sense of belonging, connection and lasting memories.
Key to this may be open-plan living that creates a hub for the family to come together, practical features like storage to make everyday life easier, and separate spaces for family members to retreat to.
Here are five luxury homes we love, which are perfect for families and for sale right now.
