Description
Not every room needs a big fire. The Henley Sherwood 5 is a small wood fireplace made for compact lounges, studies and holiday cottages where a large stove would overpower the space. It measures just 36.1 x 38.2 x 55.9 cm and weighs 63 kg, yet it carries an A+ energy rating and 81.40% efficiency.
Henley Sherwood 5 Wood Fireplace Features
High efficiency in a small body
At 81.40% efficiency, more of the heat from each log ends up in your room instead of going up the flue. That means less wood to buy and carry in over winter, and a fire that stays manageable in a smaller space.
Clean burn and clear glass
A tertiary air system feeds hot air into the firebox above the flames, so leftover gases burn off rather than leaving as smoke. The airwash system sends air down the inside of the glass to help keep the window clear.
Easy to place
On this steel wood burner, the 125 mm flue can leave from the top or the rear. A rear exit works well when the stove goes against an outside wall, while a top exit suits a flue up through the ceiling. Either way it takes up very little floor space.
Is the Sherwood 5 right for your home?
Henley rates the Sherwood 5 for about 48 m2. That suits a small to medium lounge, a bedroom suite or a study, with a normal ceiling height. For bigger, open-plan rooms, look at larger units in our freestanding fireplaces or the rest of the Henley fireplace range. Our guide to chimney stoves also helps with sizing.

Henley Sherwood 5 FAQs
Is a 5kW fireplace enough for my lounge?
For a room up to about 48 m2 with average insulation, yes. In a larger or draughty space it will struggle on cold nights, so send us your room size and we will tell you honestly if a bigger model makes more sense.
Can the Henley Sherwood 5 vent through the back wall?
Yes. The flue outlet can be set up at the top or the rear, so a straight run through an outside wall is possible where the building allows it.
