Hi, you can have whatever you want, we have a free standing multi fuel stove built into a brick fireplace with a big wooden beam flowing across it, called the Cove 2, we also have in our other room a wood burning stove, which stands out on it own on a big black slate, with the flue sweeping into it from the chimney. You can get one to heat radiators etc., just visit a place and they will tell you what you need, how much it will cost to buy, etc, you should find out how much off your plumber it will cost to connect to radiators etc. All costs are sneaky underpriced costs, which will esculate, in general, that is what I learned anyway!
