Penman Collection

Optional inner lining finish:

The Bassington Compact Gas Stove offers a liner upgrade to reflective black glass.

This lining mirrors the flickering “fingers” of the flame on all sides of the firebox — giving an extra-deep, dramatic flame picture that enhances the visual impact of the fire, especially in low light.

For those who prefer a more understated hearth interior, a standard option (such as a neutral/ceramic finish) remains available. 

Ultra-realistic ceramic log fuel bed:

The stove includes a ceramic log bed that gives a lifelike representation of a traditional log fire, enhancing the cosy, authentic feel of a real wood fire — but with the convenience of gas.

Available with manual or remote control, and in Natural Gas or LPG options. 

Compact footprint — ideal for smaller rooms or shallow fireplace openings:

The Bassington Compact is designed to deliver warmth and ambience without requiring a large hearth or oversized fireplace space.

What This Stove Does Best

Offers a stylish, flexible hearth solution — with leg-style and interior-lining choices allowing you to match the stove to both classic and contemporary interiors.

Brings a realistic, cosy fire atmosphere without the mess, maintenance or flue requirements of a traditional log burner — thanks to the ceramic log fuel bed and efficient gas operation.

Makes efficient, controlled heating accessible even in smaller spaces: with 3.8 kW output and high efficiency, it’s a practical heating solution when you want comfort without over-heating.

Provides an enhanced flame presentation option (black-glass liner) for customers who want the stove to double as a visual centerpiece: the mirrored flames around the firebox create depth and drama — especially appealing in living rooms, dens, or bedrooms where ambience matters.

Recommended For

Smaller to medium sized rooms — sitting rooms, lounges, cottages, apartments — where a compact footprint is essential.

Customers seeking a stylish, modern or transitional hearth that does not require a full chimney or complicated installation.

Homeowners who value ambience and visual flame effect as much as heating — especially for spaces where the fire will often be enjoyed for mood as much as warmth.

Situations where wood storage, cleaning or traditional flue work is impractical, but you still want the look and feel of a classic log stove.
