Not one, but two wood burners. First time I've seen one in a conservatory, sorry, orangery.

And I count a chimnea & a fire pit in the garden, as well as a fireplace. This is getting into pyro territory.

I posted one on here about 8 months ago (it was when I was looking to buy) one where the only woodburner was in the conservatory, and that really was a conservatory.

Right now, my OH is sewing in ours, as there's space for laying out fabric. It's -5c outside, snowing and blowing like mad, but the woodburner's coping OK with the extra load.

Wood burner's in the adjoining room, though. Putting one in the conservatory would be an expensive luxury, because in daylight hours it typically exports heat to the house, even in February.

Also given that the sun room is a selling point, would have been good to have included a photo of it!

I thought it probably wasn't in a condition to make it a selling point, which is why they studiously avoided including it.

I actually rather like that. I find it oddly calming.

Me too. Particularly the retro kitchen which takes me back to my childhood:o

I don't know what you are talking about, the laundry basket has clearly not been placed to cover up any torn wallpaper #sarcasm. Seriously though, there are some terrible photos in that listing, and who wants four fireplaces?

You wouldn't take out original fireplaces, though, would you? They used to do that in the 50s and 60s and people spent years putting them back in.

Looks as if someone trod on a basset hound to me!

I like the statue of the topless girl, who looks like she might be downing a can of Brew Dog Nuclear Penguin.

:rotfl:Oh yes I would - dependant on the era of course:rotfl:. I might leave a pretty Victorian one.

But I guess 1950s fireplaces count as "vintage" these days and I couldnt wait to rip out the one my (1970s - so huh???) current house had when I bought it.

...along with the 1970s (yes really) bathroom fire, 1970s bathroom tiles and god-alone-knows-what-vintage Rayburn...
