This floor to ceiling hearth and mirror create a central focus in the Main Parlour.
Situated on an unusual angle in the entry corner of the room, this massive entity creates a strong balance for the masses windows on the adjacent wall.
This room faces South and reflects the warmth of the daytime sun and uplifting atmosphere of the exceptional brightness.
