I'm considering getting a woodburner put in my living room. My chimney was completely removed by previous owners, so it will need to have a flu put straight up through the ceiling, all the way through the bedroom above, into the attic, and out the top somehow. so will be a pretty costly installation.
Just started looking at the actual stoves... Am amazed at how much they are! We thought we'd be able to get something fairly modern looking for sub £500... they all seem to be upwards of £1300 for nice looking ones!
I need to get a quote for installation, but am expecting it will end up costing at least £3k all in. Will it add anywhere near this kind of value to the house? Just seems difficult to justify spending that kind of money on something that may add no value, when i could spend it on tarting up the kitchen and it would easily boost the value of the property a fair bit.
I'd really like a woodburner, but not sure i want one enough to part with that sort of money.
