lounge (with fireplace)
Explanation:
I think in England that would be called a lounge rather than a room. "Room" sounds very domestic, while "lounge" more often, but not always, suggests a public area, eg hotel, gym, etc.

(sitting) room with fireplace


Explanation:
101,000 Googleträffar på "room with fireplace". Varning - jag vet dock inte om det finns ett kortare och mer specifikt ord.

Ordet "brasrum" verkar i övrigt nästan uteslutande användas i Finland.
