The World Cup is finally here. For the next few weeks, living rooms across the country will be transformed into mini stadiums, friendships will be tested by questionable refereeing decisions and someone will inevitably take their role as self-appointed pundit a little too seriously.
Of course, every great tournament deserves a great venue. Whether you’re hosting the entire family for a knockout match, gathering friends for a summer evening kick-off or simply looking for enough space to celebrate (or commiserate) in comfort, some homes are better equipped than others.
From dedicated cinema rooms and expansive open-plan living spaces to outdoor entertaining areas, garden terraces and kitchens designed for feeding a crowd, the ideal World Cup viewing party requires more than just a large television. You need space for guests to gather, somewhere to prepare the half-time snacks and perhaps even enough room for an impromptu kickabout once the final whistle blows.
The homes featured here certainly rise to the occasion. There are properties with cinema rooms worthy of the biggest matches, stunning kitchen and family spaces that naturally become the centre of every gathering and beautifully landscaped gardens perfect for summer entertaining. From Pyrford and East Molesey to Oxshott, Guildford and Walliswood, each home offers its own take on the ultimate match-day experience.
So, whether you’re backing England to go all the way or simply looking for inspiration for your next gathering, these Surrey homes have everything needed to host a World Cup viewing party to remember.
