Ahh, from the point of basic practicality, but we had ch in our previous house and yet here are or were the fireplaces in dining room, sitting room, library, one bedroom (never lit), main bedroom, and the gas fire in the bathroom which certainly was lit.... I installed all but the bedroom fires.
Nothing beats the ambience of a fireplace.
