Large open area right away from the fireplace
I believe the answer is:
heath
'large open area' is the definition.
'heath' can be an answer for 'area' (heath is a kind of area). I'm not certain of the 'large open' bit.
'right away from the fireplace' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'away from' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'the fireplace' becomes 'hearth' (synonyms).
'hearth' with 'r' removed is 'HEATH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for heath that I've seen before include "Statesman" , "Uncultivated land area" , "Tract of uncultivated land with scrubby vegetation" , "Ted - - (former PM)" , "Sandy, scrubby land" .)
