It depends how "hot" you are talking. But as has been mentioned above, if the heating is on constantly then the brick will heat up like a storage heater would.

Wouldn't the hot spot follow the path of the pipe though?

OP seems to be talking about a localised spot.

Yes it was one spot which was quite warm about 6 inches square and for about 12 inches it was just warm to the touch, I have lived here for over 20 years and never noticed it before and it was only for the fact that I happened to get a coat from the built in wardrobe and I felt that one sleeve was warm that I noticed it at all, I have checked the spot on the wall several times since at different times of the day and have not felt the hotspot since, very strange.

When was her chimney last swept? A built up of soot could cause a chimney fire.

These houses don't have a flue liner the back boilers in the fireplace.
