Unless your heater’s cable is ridiculously long, it’ll be in the right area. The wires in the wall aren’t part of the heater and don’t factor into its efficiency.
Don’t you plug your 50 meter long cord in outside, run it though all the stuff you never want hot and then into the window to run your space heater? I mean if you are heating a room, why would the plug be in that same room?
Fine for electrical efficiency, but in terms of fuel efficiency I can get into an odd situation where I burn the same amount of (say methane) gas in my room, vs in a remote power station (where we might assume any heat losses are not useful). I could end up getting more useful heat out of the same fuel using a nominally less efficient gas heater vs an electric one.
Probably not heating what you want.

Ah yes, clearly you should burn coal/natural gas/fissionable material in your home. Very reasonable.
In my country gas is about 2/3rds of residential energy consumption - maybe more than as a share of residential space and water heating.
And you operate the power plant in your room? Why do you need a space heater then, just how cold is it there?!
