Find suitable electric fire heater HELP

Changed name just in case anyone recognises my fireplace lol.

We removed the old heater that was on the fireplace from previous owner, and it revealed this beautiful arch! As you can see we have started paint it, it was a hideous brown before.

Anyway can any one help me find a electric heater to put in/on there, from my searches am coming across a entire fireplace with the frame, which is what I don't need, I just need the electric heater part, if that makes sense.
If you can provide links that would be super helpful! I don't know if I need to include that am in England lol

That's lovely. Would you not consider a real fire?

I think you may need to use a specialist supplier. Like this:

We rarely use our open fire so during the summer we fill it with pine cones. Last year I put a set of little LED lights in it and when you switched them on, at a glance it seemed like a real fire.

can't help with the heater, but...if that is an actual chimney you need to block it off and certainly before winter. You can pay a fortune on Amazon for gadgets or you can put an old pillow in a bin liner and stuff it into the gap. Don't forget that it is there if you do decide to use the fire.

which you shouldn't until the chimney has been checked, swept and lined if needed. Open fires are less than 20% efficient and need to go the way of patio heaters and car treasure hunts.

Can't use as open fire due to young children. Will have a look at the link provided. Thank you

Try searching online images for 'electric basket fires' - there are quite a few different ones that can slot in the bottom of a traditional fireplace to imitate an open fire in a grate
