Can't you put your wood burner in front of the existing fireplace with the flue running back into it then up the chimney?
Not 100% sure what this means. Soz.
Basically by getting rid I mean just the cast iron shit fireplace thats there the 'hole' remains .. we will get it rendered.I will ask about 'in the room' thing you mentioned. They will be putting the liner after a chimney sweep sometime in next couple of weeks.
Do you have a multi-fuel or wood only? Can you remember which brand/model it is?

I'd preserve original features such as a fireplace surround if at all possible - and also the wood burner works better if it's in the room as opposed to in the fireplace, as the heat can radiate out from it rather than up the chimney/into the walls.
Our choice of burner was dictated by the clean-air rules in our borough - approved smokeless units only, ours was pretty cheap (£400ish), works fine.
I love ours, one of the simple pleasures of coming home is lighting the fire.
