Warm Fires of Yorkshire: Stowells And Stairways The Hidden Secrets.

Yorkshire, with its rolling hills and historic towns, becomes even more enchanting as the leaves turn amber and the air gets crisp. Imagine that you are cuddled in an easy chair as the flames from the living fire centre products flicker amidst dark shadows; you are wrapped up in some warm wool blanket. It certainly does make one feel comfortable.

In the majority of Yorkshire homes, fireplaces are not just there for utility (also, they are not functional). They belong to the living space. I remember visiting a friend in the Dales last year, as we gathered around her ancient fireplace kept on telling stories about the rich history of the cottage. At the heart of the cottage she insisted was this fire and fireplace that keeps it warm : literally and spiritually. (She claimed, accidentally.)

Now, to be truthful the choice between stove or fireplace is not an easy one. There’s everything you could imagine here from deciding whether you want that traditional open flame (classic) to the more efficient closed (clean) stove. It’s a bit like dating in a bar–do you want something that feels old or something with a tech twist?

Some of the best homes in Yorkshire let it molder in their own way. If these walls could talk, then what tales would they tell? Smoky old yarns punctuated by laughter. Some people opt for those clean lines and modern designs, whileothers like their rustic hearth to be the eunble to crackle. Choosing a contemporary stylegor a traditional one is like voting whether you want your phone cleanand new or a vinyl record–it all depends upon what type of atmosphere you are going for.

Now don’t get me started on the install. Can you imagine trying to assemble flat-pack furniture when it is made of heavy metal and stone? It is something like coding a complex game of Tetris and then having no choice to restart!

With the wind howling outside, there is simply nothing morewarm and comforting than a fire. Yorkshire people know this well. It isperhaps the most romantic relationship they have with anything: fireplaces. After all, a home without a fire is like end of the world for people in thiscounty; It would be seen as unthinkable. That just speaks volumes above as to how much we love our fire places andone day we will talk more–because that day is coming sooner than most might think.

So why don’t you have a go at renovating the heart of your home? This is about warmth and memories, creating a center for family as well as entertaining venue. After all, the hearth does hold the secret to a home–its very heart.
