Where shall I put my wood burning stove?

We are getting new windows and French doors into garden with floor to ceiling windows either side of French doors. Existing fireplace is too small so we are moving stove to one of the far corners of room but can't decide which corner. Aesthetically the tall corner would look better but then TV would be facing window rather than seating area. I don't want to place furniture in front of French doors. We will be getting new sofa/seating eventually but not yet. I'm loath to arrange room around a to but practically that's what we use the room. All advice welcome

    Hi Jenny, I think i'm there with the description. The new windows and doors are going on the left, correct? I can see in the back ground the slanted ceiling.

    However, i'm still confused with the T.V comment, as you say you don't want it facing the windows and that's what it currently does. There is also a radiator on the far wall under a window, is that to remain or be re-sited?

    If you replace the long wall with windows and doors, you would need to say where they are exactly and how wide. The radiator could do with be re-sited and in my opinion maybe get rid of the window on the far wall. If you don't get rid of the window you are limiting yourself greatly with the placement of furniture.

    Here's a few scenarios:-

    keeping the window and the radiator:-

    Removing the window and re-siting the radiator to the other end of the room - log burner on left in tall corner:-
    Removing the window - log burner on the right - tv facing in to the room away from the window:-
    Log burner not in either corner - window removed - fireplace built for log burner with alcoves allowing storage and T.V Corner placement:-
    This would probably allow more seating - possibly a 3 and a 2 seater sofa.

    Radiator re-sited to the far end adjacent to the door.

      Jenny, would love to help, but the description needs reading through. Where is the fireplace? What is a Tall corner? Have you got actual room dimensions and note on them where the fireplace is and all windows and doors.

      Also, what is above the room, as this will dictate pretty much where you can put a stove unless you are planning on having a new Chimney or Flue through a different external wall. In which case, you would also need to note on the plan, which walls are external.

      This is a living room. The existing fireplace is being removed. The stove will have a flu going straight up through the ceiling. It is a bungalow and by tall corner I mean the corner with the higher ceiling as the ceiling is angled. the walls without windows are internal but solid walls

      On first glance but without better information, it seems the burner should go where the TV currently is placed.

      Things to note......You may find it worth while looking into

      pellet stoves; The minimum height for the flue will be 4m and must play onto a window area.

      With more information I can give more practical information and further details on the benefit of pellet stoves.

      Thank you very much for those pictures. It really helps to visualise it and I'm rubbish with computers. I don't want to block that window as technically that's the front of the house facing the road. I like the stove in the right corner as then you will see it lit from the outside too
