Wonderful fireplace, we hear (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

great

'wonderful' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fireplace we hear' is the wordplay.
'fireplace' becomes 'grate' (I've seen this before).
'we hear' shows a homophone (sound like).
'grate' is a homophone of 'GREAT'.

(Other definitions for great that I've seen before include "Extensive; excellent" , "Excellent (colloq.)" , "Dickens novel about Pip" , "The Plough" , "Brunel's third and last steamship" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
