Disappointingly, the arch in the chimney breast has been removed/bricked up by others when installing a rather nasty fireplace.
I fancy reinstating it- main question is whether the metal strap usually supporting such arches is steel or wrought iron. Yes I could just put a lintel in (be a 3kw woodburner going in eventually) but it won't look as pretty.
