<p>[QUOTE="TaraUnnie, post: 112304, member: 906"]First of all, why do you want to remove it!? It is lovely and adds a lovely feature to the house, also if it is original, houses complete with original features are often more popular these days and sometimes worth more. It is so sad to look on gumtree for antiques and find original features like leadlight doors, fireplace mantles, ceiling roses and bricks for sale after this 'renovation trend', hopefully it will end soon because those features make the house unique from all the houses built these days. Anyway, to me the fire place from OP looked Edwardian or early to mid 1920's Georgian. I assume British and Australian styles were similar in this department. There is nothing that heats the room as well as a fireplace, I can't imagine why not many modern houses are built without them? They are great. Best of luck anyway, I would get it valued by a professional then consider your options to avoid getting ripped off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
