Hi we got the flatmate it is identical but without the canopy it 8 kW and a great stove been doing 30 cube pa for last 5 years eats fire bricks and the baffle though best replace seals each year too cheers chris

The front of it looks like a model B, now replaced by Flatmate.

 

The model A that was suggested elsewhere does not have doors that go all the way tp the edge of the stove like yours.

As a single depth stove the heat output of the B is 8kw,

 

I did rebuild a B for a client last autumn, he had bought the house and was minded to change the stove as it looked tired, notes with the property said teh stove was installed in the early 70s. A new set of glass, new door and glass rope set, new firebricks, a clean up and re spray and it was good as new.

 

The glass on yours looks claggy, when you have the stove running burning wood close off the air inlets in the lower doors and control the stove using the air inlets in the tops of the doors only. The glass is held in place by some very sensible studs and nuts so its easy to change if needed. If a stud shears it can be quickly and quite cheaply repaired by Villager ( Arada). The doors are all individually fitted so its unlikely a replacement door would fit.

I think mine is a Villager Yeoman. Looks very similar to yours.

My Dad put mine in, about 30 years ago. I think it was second hand then!

 

 

I haven't tidied up either. Just took the pic, fire is lit tonight.
