Warm your home – and your heart – with a stylish wood-burning stove from Charnwood’s impressive collection
With the clocks going back this month, and the weather growing colder, now’s the ideal time to dial up the cosiness at home. Experience the allure of a real fire for yourself, while enjoying the convenience and eco-friendly benefits of Charnwood wood-burning stoves. For more than 50 years, the company (based on the Isle of Wight) has been refining the art of this timeless pleasure, producing models that are stylish, efficient and low maintenance. This makes them an excellent choice for both urban and rural living.
Crafted from cast iron and plate steel, Charnwood stoves feature ceramic-glass picture windows, giving you a glimpse into the mesmerising flames. Available in a range of sizes, they are suitable for snug spaces or larger open-plan layouts. Meanwhile, the cool-to-the-touch handle and single air control adds to the list of user-friendly features.
What’s more, the latest designs take Charnwood’s commitment to eco-consciousness and clean burning to new heights. With most models receiving a five-star ‘ClearSkies’ rating, they all comply with the European-wide Ecodesign regulation, releasing minimal emissions while maximising efficiency.
In fact, says the company, these stoves perform 80–84% better than older models. In response to the trend for open-plan living, this year saw the arrival of the new Haven Cook Stove (RRP £4,128), a log-burning range cooker which is 90% efficient and can be fired up to cooking temperature in as little as 20 minutes. It’s also completely independent of gas, oil or electricity, which can be reassuring in these days of unpredictable energy prices and supplies. Next year, Charnwood is due to launch a new app-controlled stove that monitors the fire and adjusts airflow accordingly for the most efficient burn. All you have to do is load it, strike a match and close the door – the stove does the rest and even notifies you when it needs another log!
