"it is warmed by an Aga stove and an enormous open hearth, over which dinner is typically cooked" I guess this produces way too much greenhouse gases, as compared to more modern ways.

Compared to what?

Are you accounting for the greenhouse costs of producing and shipping all the equipment that it is replacing? A stove, ducts and vents, cabling, a heating furnace and the production of all the energy sources that run these?

You might find that answer is not so clear.
