Welcome to the future of wood-burning stoves. Direct Stoves is thrilled to present a fresh collaboration between Charnwood and Country Living Magazine. Named the Charnwood Country Living Bembridge, this 5kW wood-burning stove is a product of British craftsmanship, curated on the iconic Isle of Wight, especially for Country Living enthusiasts.

A Modern Classic Design

Blending elements of the past with the present, The Bembridge seamlessly combines decorative accents with contemporary aesthetics. It embodies an elegance that is both timeless and current, sure to charm those who seek a refined look.

A Word from the Editor

Susy Smith, the editor of Country Living Magazine, shared her thoughts on this exciting partnership and the introduction of the new stove:

“I am thrilled with this joint venture between Country Living and Charnwood. As two of Britain’s most recognised brands with rich legacies, we’ve merged our design finesse, technical acumen, and market insight to conceive The Bembridge. It truly encapsulates the essence of the Country Living style.”

Proudly British

Every component of The Bembridge speaks of its British heritage. Crafted with the finest materials sourced locally, it boasts castings, sheet steel, and brick constituents from the heart of the West Midlands. The wooden handles, meticulously hand-turned, are made of British Beech procured from the lush landscapes of Yorkshire. The pristine ceramic glass comes from Coventry. With such a commitment to quality, every Charnwood product, especially The Bembridge, promises longevity and impeccable performance.

Tailored to Your Taste

Diversity in design is essential, and The Bembridge understands that. Customers can choose from an enticing palette of five distinct colours: the evergreen Black, the warm Almond, the sophisticated Gunmetal, and two novel Country Living exclusive shades – the calming Soft Green and the chic French Grey. And for those who love personalising every corner of their home, optional add-ons like a store stand, a reciprocating grate, and a heat shield are at your disposal.

Cutting-Edge Efficiency

Charnwood’s commitment to innovation is evident in The Bembridge. Incorporating the most advanced combustion mechanisms, this stove has been rigorously and independently assessed to meet strict European criteria, placing it among the available top-tier efficient stoves. Its emissions are so minimal that it’s earned a DEFRA exemption, permitting wood combustion even in regulated smoke control areas. The stove’s user-friendly design, complete with a single air control and a detachable door handle, ensures safety while delivering a comfortable 5kW heat output.

The Legacy Behind the Brands

Diving deeper into the brands behind this collaboration, we find rich histories and values. Charnwood, a stalwart in the stove-making industry, has long stood for resilience, innovation, and unparalleled craftsmanship. On the other hand, Country Living Magazine, with its glossy pages and evocative content, captures the imagination of those who cherish rustic charm and the idyllic countryside lifestyle.

Sustainable and Environment-Friendly

The Bembridge sets an exemplary standard in an era that rightly champions sustainability. Not only does it adhere to rigorous efficiency benchmarks, but its eco-friendliness ensures that your home remains warm without compromising the health of our planet. It’s a beacon for those who seek to merge modern living with environmental consciousness.

Design Matters

Aesthetics play a crucial role in modern home decisions. The Bembridge doesn’t just function efficiently – it is a piece of art in your living space. Its design intricacies, from the hand-turned wooden handles to the bespoke colour options, make it a visual treat, harmonising effortlessly with diverse interiors, whether you have a penchant for minimalism or a love for vintage.

The Stove’s Versatility

The Bembridge isn’t just a winter staple. Its versatile design makes it a valuable asset throughout the year. Even without a roaring fire, it is a focal point in a room, a conversation starter, and a testament to impeccable taste. Plus, with the reciprocating grate, maintaining the stove becomes a breeze, making it a practical choice for those who value ease of use and maintenance.

Installation and Care

The Bembridge offers a solution for homeowners often daunted by the prospects of installing a wood-burning stove. Its user-centric design ensures a seamless integration into your living spaces. Plus, with every purchase, customers can access many resources and guides, ensuring the installation process is as smooth as possible. Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance, and the brand’s commitment to service ensures that you have expert assistance whenever needed.

A Commitment to Safety

While The Bembridge's aesthetic and functional elements are commendable, its safety features truly set it apart. The removable door handle, for instance, isn't just a design choice – it’s a testament to the brand’s dedication to ensuring that families remain safe, even as they enjoy the comforting warmth of the stove. Every feature, from construction to controls, has been designed with the user’s well-being in mind.
