Description
The Northern Flame Hampton Highline packs a lot of fire into a small stove. The front is mostly glass, a 48cm by 30cm window that gives a full view of the flames, and the clean-burn design means very low smoke and particle levels. At 5kW it is well matched to the smaller rooms many Cape Town homes have.
Northern Flame Hampton Highline Features
A stove within a stove
Air drawn in at the back runs between two layers of steel and heats up before it enters the firebox high at the rear. This hot tertiary air burns off smoke that would otherwise go up the flue. The rest rises and washes across the glass, keeping it clear.
Heavy duty build
The body is thick steel plate, folded and welded so no stray air leaks in. A 30mm thick cast iron door and a solid steel top add mass and durability. The whole stove weighs 95 kg and measures 33.5 x 42 x 65.4 cm.
Simple to run
It is a wood-only stove, so the fire burns on a flat bed with no grate or ash pan to fuss with. A single push-pull lever under the stove sets the air. A twist handle with wood detail opens the door, and adjustable legs level the stove on an uneven floor.
Is the Northern Flame Hampton Highline right for your home?
The maker rates it at about 48 m2, so a 5kW fireplace like this suits a small lounge, bedroom or study. It runs at 81.30% efficiency. For a bigger room, compare our other freestanding fireplaces or read our review of the Northern Flame range.

Hampton Highline FAQs
Is the Hampton Highline good for a small room?
Yes. With a 5kW output and a heating area of about 48 m2, it warms a small to medium room without overheating it. Larger stoves in small rooms often have to be run too low, which leads to sooty glass.
Does it come with a warranty?
Yes, it carries a 5 year limited warranty. Our team helps with registration and any warranty question after installation.
Can it connect to outside air?
Yes, there is an option to connect an external air intake. This helps in well sealed homes. We check whether you need it on the site visit.
