The work involves the removal of the existing fire insert and replacing it with a high efficiency coal effect gas fire. It will also entail the replacement of a terracotta T chimney pot with a terracotta gas cowl. The existing marble mantle and hearth will remain in place. The existing fireplace, which is a reproduction and primarily decorative limits the amount of fuel that can be burned, it is also extremely inefficient and cannot adequately heat the room.
