1970s Fireplace Transformed into Cottage Inglenook

This transformation takes the fireplace from a dated 1970s stone-and-slate feature into a cottage-style inglenook with warmth, texture and far more character.

1970s Fireplace Transformed into Cottage Inglenook

Project at a glance

Northumberland | Fireplaces | Planned, supplied, and installed by Fires in Stone.

The brief

Fires In Stone constructed a raised hearth using brick and sandstone slabs, immediately giving the new feature more substance and traditional appeal.

A steel-framed chimney breast was built with an inglenook opening, allowing the stove to sit within a proper fireplace structure.

How the project came together

The Parkray wood burning stove was installed with a factory-made Schiedel flue system, while brick slips and an English oak beam completed the chamber finish.

The finished result is a strong example of how a dated fireplace can be completely reimagined rather than simply updated.
