Clearview Stove - Inglenook

[Phill123]

Following a visit to Dinham House in Ludlow, we have just ordered a Clearview Vision 500 Log Burner with a Low Canopy

Just in the process or re-pointing and replacing the beam with a a new oak beam. Will upload pics upon completiton!

Is that a lintel that's been cut off over the doorway opening? Is there any masonry above that opening and if there is what's supporting it?

The masonry above the fireplace lintel looks pretty unstable too, replacing that lintel is going to be tricky.

Great stove. We have one with a flat top. Can boil kettles, heat soup...

The original Lintel had been cut ! Which is a shame as we would have kept it in.. This and that fact it was full of woodworm prompted us to change it.

Ive attached some more pics to show recent update.

Im still questioning over Slate or Stone Hearth.. Any thoughts??

Oh yeah Burner arrived today aswell

Slate scratches easily. And it looks modern. Stone better.

Are you in a slat area of the country, or a stone area? The most traditional approach would be to use a local material. If neither of these is appropriate, how about quarry tiles?

We like in North Wales so plenty a slate around! However agree with previous comment that it can look slightly modern ..

Currently in the process of trying to find a riven finish thick slab of slate.

I agree that smooth machined slate would look wrong, but your plan to used a riven slate slab sounds just right for your area.
