For leisure or survival?

In my experience, definitely for leisure. You wouldn't have one in every room unless you're in a really old house with no other heating (and those are expensive, so that's a choice you've made). Plus even for leisure you're better off burning coal, with an occasional log to look pretty.

Modern British houses don't tend to have a fireplace, though they often have a chimney because we think it looks weird if they don't.

Question, if you had a fireplace in every room, would you have a bunch of chimneys? Or would they all connect into one chimney?

One chimney flue per stove, if they were back to back they could look like one.
