Can tha bach, Dimplex fire be fixed to the wall but plugged into a socket a couple on inches away from it on the same wall .Our socket is just to the side not hidden behind the fire itself

Thanks for your enquiry.

Yes, the Dimplex range of electric fires are designed to be plugged into a standard 13-amp socket. You don’t need to hard-wire them unless you specifically want a hidden connection and it is common for the socket to be off to the side of the fire, rather than directly behind it.
