THE PENMAN BASSINGTON 5kW
Absolute heat. Zero compromise. Built to your exact specification.
Most home heating is designed to be invisible. The Penman Bassington refuses to be. It is a heavy, commanding centerpiece engineered to do two things with extreme prejudice: dominate the cold, and anchor the room.
Where lesser stoves force you to choose between ecological compliance, raw output, and interior styling, the Bassington simply delivers all three. This is modern combustion, weaponised for the living room.
Engineered to Outperform the Law
The UK’s 2022 Ecodesign standard was written as a strict ceiling for average manufacturers. Penman treated it as a baseline. Consequently, the Bassington doesn’t just pass clean-air regulations—it humiliates them.
- Hyper-Clean Combustion: An advanced internal airflow system re-ignites exhaust gases before they can escape. As a result, you get a mesmerising, high-definition flame picture and a fraction of the particulate output.
- Total DEFRA Immunity: Smoke-control zone? Forget it. The Bassington is legally certified to burn wood and mineral fuels anywhere in the United Kingdom, including central London.
Specify Your Weapon: The Finishes
You are not picking a colour; you are defining the focal point of your architecture. The Bassington is cast in three distinct factory finishes:
Classic Matt Black
The purist’s choice. High-contrast, industrial, and deeply traditional. It forces the bright orange flame to take center stage.
Oxford Grey Enamel
Cold architectural steel meets raw combustion. It operates as a sophisticated, razor-sharp neutral inside contemporary spaces.
Warm White Enamel
Unapologetic Scandinavian brutalism. It reflects natural room light during the day, and glows like a lantern at night.
Dictate the Stance
Proportion is everything. To ensure the unit marries your masonry, the firebox mounts to your choice of four cast foundations:
| Foundation | The Vibe | Visual Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Legs | Timeless / Balanced | The definitive stove silhouette. Grounded, confident, and permanent. |
| Baseline Legs | Low-Slung / Modern | Drops the center of gravity. Perfect for tight inglenooks or low ceilings. |
| Skirted Legs | Heritage / Heavy | Wraps the base in a cast iron apron. Commands traditional hearths. |
| Grande Log Store | Architectural / Bold | Elevates the firebox to eye level over a raw, stacked timber display. |
No-Nonsense Integration
High performance should not mean high maintenance. The Bassington was engineered to make your fitter’s life as easy as yours.
12mm Hearth Approved
Crucially, the unit is certified to sit directly onto a standard 12mm non-combustible decorative hearth. Consequently, you are spared the expense and structural chaos of excavating your floor for a deep construction hearth.
