You have to consider if you will need a new chimney liner, baffle plate, hearth etc... as well as the stove.
About 8 years ago I had a stove installed in my 1840's house. It needed liner, baffle etc but hearth was already there.
Cost then was £1300 installed. £1700 seems not unreasonable depending on cost of stove.

I'm tired of reality, so I'm off to look for a good fantasy.
We had a concrete lining put in the chimney for £1200. The guy who did it then fitted the stove for free. Other places wanted 500 or 600 just for fitting. Ask a few more firms.
