Floor of a fireplace (6)

I believe the answer is:

hearth

(Other definitions for hearth that I've seen before include "part of furnace" , "suitable place for a fire" , "cosy setting" , "Novel" , "where the home is built?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Times and the King Feature Syndicate.
