Chesneys Shoreditch 8WS MK3 Wood Burning Stove
The Chesneys Shoreditch 8WS MK3 Wood Burning Stove combines a contemporary vertical design with strong, efficient heating performance, creating a bold focal point for modern living spaces. Chesneys designed this model for homeowners who want a visually striking stove that also delivers reliable output. As a result, it offers a balanced combination of style, efficiency, and clean-burning technology.
Its taller proportions give it a strong architectural presence. Because of this, it works particularly well in feature walls, media wall installations, and open-plan interiors where the stove is meant to stand out as a key design element.
Since it is DEFRA exempt and complies with Eco Design 2022 requirements, homeowners can install it in smoke control areas across major UK towns and cities. This provides both flexibility and peace of mind for urban living.
Clean-Burning Performance with Modern Efficiency
The Shoreditch 8WS MK3 delivers dependable heating while maintaining strong environmental performance.
It provides a nominal heat output of 7.4kW, which suits medium to larger rooms that require consistent warmth during colder months. In addition, it operates within a heat range of 5kW to 9.5kW, giving homeowners flexible control depending on burn rate and room conditions.
The stove achieves an efficiency rating of 83.2%. This means it converts a high proportion of fuel into usable heat, which helps reduce waste while maintaining a steady and controlled burn.
It also produces just 1.7 grams of smoke per hour. This low emissions level supports cleaner combustion and meets modern environmental standards.
Vertical Design for Modern Interiors
The Shoreditch 8WS MK3 uses a tall, slim profile to create a strong vertical line within the room. This design works especially well in contemporary interiors where clean architectural detailing is important.
When installed in a feature wall or media wall, the stove becomes a clear focal point without overwhelming the space. At the same time, its proportions allow it to complement both minimalist interiors and more textured design schemes.
The larger fire chamber also improves the flame picture. Because of this, the stove creates a more immersive visual experience, particularly in open-plan living areas where the fire contributes to the overall atmosphere.
Installation Flexibility and Clearances
The Shoreditch 8WS MK3 has been designed to suit a wide range of modern layouts and renovation projects.
It measures 568mm wide, 691mm high, and 383mm deep. When fitted with the optional heat shield, the depth increases slightly by 15mm, while still maintaining a compact footprint for its output level.
The stove weighs 155kg, so installers must ensure proper structural support and accurate positioning during installation.
Clearance requirements are important for safe operation. The stove requires 250mm rear clearance, which reduces to 150mm when a heat shield is fitted. When combined with an insulated flue system and heat shield, rear clearance can be reduced further to 50mm. Side clearance remains at 400mm to maintain safe heat distribution.
Professional installation is strongly recommended. It helps ensure correct flue alignment, safe operation, and long-term performance. It also ensures the stove integrates properly within the surrounding design.
Contemporary Styling with Practical Heating Performance
The Shoreditch range focuses on combining modern aesthetics with the natural appeal of a real flame. The MK3 version refines this approach by improving efficiency while maintaining a clean, architectural form.
It suits homeowners who want a stove that functions as both a heating appliance and a design feature. Overall, the Shoreditch 8WS MK3 delivers a strong balance of warmth, efficiency, and visual impact for modern living spaces.
