Thanks for that. I'd hoped things had moved on in terms of efficiency as well as looks. Some of them look a bit tacky, and I guess incongruous with a Victorian terrace, but no more so than a wood burner. We have an electric fireplace already which I've never actually bothered to try turning on, so hopefully the electricity feed is already there.
But yeah, to clarify it would be more as a focal point for the interior, rather than a main source of heat. I'm sure I wouldn't actually use a wood burner enough to make the installation and maintenance worthwhile so this seems like a good option. I'm sure it will look crap in 20 years time, but it probably won't be my problem and log burners will likely be banned where I live by then.
