It is a striated porcelain tile which looks a lot like a natural travertine.

Not sure where are you based but I used Homebase Masonery Red Brick paint thinned with water. It looks very natural, doesn't leave a shell on surface. You can buy a small tin for £2.79 for 225ml to try the colour. To make it more bricky you can buy two colours and mix them to get some tones like Chocolate. Link below http://www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/decorating/exterior-paint/homebase-weathercoat-brick-red---smooth-masonry-paint---25l-595981 I paint terracotta tiles on my bay window using that paint (red brick, chocolate, black) if you want lighter effect you can use terracotta colour. Had a big problem to remove the eggshell White paint end up painting it over.

I would paint it white or off white, match the colour of your woodwork (skirting boards, architraves) Ask in your paint store for a recommendation on the type of paint to use, there is special paint for this. If you do go what paint the chimney breast, a soft green would make it stand out and really compliment the wooden wardrobe. Try Colortrend Goya. Best of luck!!

If the blue limits your colour scheme paint over the blue in tile paint . The granite hearth is a practical choice once you add an ornament or two you won't even notice anymore a wooden surround would finish off the fireplace especially if you can do a simple one yourself - save money !:) not difficult to do have done it our lounge . You can use stove paint and paint the surround in in black if you like .:)

Hi Gina This is almost definitely sandstone. Yorkshire sandstone is quite yellowy beige so could well be from a local quarry. There are dozens in Yorkshire. Are you looking to reproduce it or just for the history. Do your deeds have the architects name or builder's name. It looks in keeping with the original build. There are Arts and Crafts houses by designers such as Edgar Wood around West Yorks with similar looks. Banney Royd in Huddersfield is a good example. Open to public now I think.
