  • I’m in the end stages of buying a house at the moment and it’s got this weird extra bit in the kitchen hearth. Any idea why it’s there at all?

    It’d be good to have it removed to fit a nice big cooker, but interested if anyone’s ever seem anything like it?

  • That’s the one - there’s no cellar as far as I’m aware. It’s an odd one for sure.

    @absurdbird yeah, I was thinking similar, but maybe just some ducting out the back of the breast (end of terrace) with the extractor fan. There’s a good video by the restoration couple on YouTube about it. Going all the way up seems quite a bit more thorough than my diy skills 😂
