Combustion air will be supplied via a direct air kit duct exiting externally (location indicated on attached annotated photograph). - Basement Bedroom: Installation of one Clearview Vision 500 inset (5KW) stove utilizing the existing hearth and brick surround. Flue & Chimney Structural Repairs: The missing internal brick withs between two of the three flues will be rebuilt to restore structural integrity and safety. The two active flues will be fitted with 300mm tall buff-coloured terracotta chimney pots and buff-coloured stainless steel euro cowls. The third, unused flue will be fitted with a buff vent cap. Associated External Works via Scaffolding: Access scaffolding will be erected on the west side of the North Wing. Utilizing this temporary access, localized repair and lime patch-rendering will be undertaken on reachable sections of the back of the chimney stack. Additionally, organic growth will be carefully removed from reachable upper sections and the balustrade of the west wall of the North Wing using low-pressure steam.
