Spacious detached houses like the K's appeal to readers of 'Homes & Gardens' and the like but as Mrs K herself said "I thought if we had a stove put in as additional heating we might be able to sit and watch the TV (wide screen HD) without having to wear a coat."
Personally I have my doubts as much of the space in spacious is vertical, above your head with the high ceilings.
As we all know when air is heated it expands, becomes less dense and rises. When you throw in a large wide central staircase and radiators in every room, so much air is rising up to the second floor, cold air is often drawn down the chimney all the way from the top of the roof.
Then the irrate customer phones up "We tried to light the stove for the first time and the house filled with smoke - you must have blocked our chimney."
