Opening up fireplace for stove

    We live in a house built in the early 60s and was thinking of putting in a stove. The room is 12ft wide but narrower in the middle because of the chimney breast. We thought about putting in an inset stove but I'm wondering if it's possible to open up/remove the chimney breast completely and put in a regular stove with boiler, with a pipe going up into the chimney. This way, the stove wouldn't be sticking out into the room and we'd have more room for buckets of turf, etc beside it. Similar to what you'd often see on TV in older houses in the UK where they'd have a big fireplace that you could nearly sit into.

    I asked a builder about this but he said he'd never seen it done. Is it overly complicated?
