How to lay-out a TV & fireplace side-by-side (Hamptons style)?

I am trying to find a suitable design for a tv and fireplace
unit. The style is to be ‘Hamptons-esque,’ so the fireplace is standard
dimensions (not a slender horizon profile) with a surround. The flat-screen tv
is to be wall mounted with cabinetry for 2 components (PVR = amplifier). Here’s
the trick: we do not want a tv mounted high on a wall, so they would virtually
be side-by-side. I’d appreciate any examples/suggestions which can be shown.
FYI, this will be in a larger open-plan living area where there will also be a
Hamptons-style kitchen, so we’re thinking of linking the styles.

It is difficult to give suggestions as we cannot see the space you have. However, I like the idea of a pop-up flat screen. This would mean that the TV doesn't become the feature in the room.

Alternately -
1. You could have a wall unit built where the TV is hidden behind doors.
1. If you have the room, have matching cabinetry on either side of the fire-place.

In the photo below the bench is 6m wide. The TV is 1m. You could use painted timber or natural timber for your Hamptons style. Posted this picture so you can see the scale. Ceiling 2700m high.

Thanks both. Width is not an issue as we have 8.1 metres to play with (although we do not want joinery right across the room as it is not a deep room). I should have mentioned that we would like shaker-style cabinetry & fireplace surround. Kooky_karen's option 2 is of interest - was wondering if there were any examples of this with a lower-positioned tv.
