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?

My guess is that it's the main fire place and the rest of the alcove of the fire is where logs and pots would have been kept back in the day. A bit like an inglenook.
