A question about what I can take.

People will have different opinions on the wisdom of removing the wood burner, especially if it is an important part of the heating system, rather than a 'nice to have' feature.

Definitely not an important part of the heating system, its just a 'nice to have' feature. As you say, it might not be to the buyers taste, and would hate for it to end up in landfill. Not the cheapest woodburner to replace either.
After thinking about it, I agree with what has been said about the other items, so will just leave those, but yep, I would take the woodburner but make it clear from the start. At least they have everything else installed, and can buy one that suits their individual taste if they decide to have one.

Speak to your EA when they come and give you the valuation, they will offer best advice on how to proceed and IF they do escorted viewings can help with calming any fears of the purchasers.

It is difficult though. I want to take a bathroom freestanding cupboard with me, it has the sink sitting on top of it. I will replace the sink though, and I have asked the buyer if she is OK with this.

Really? Unless it's a particularly ugly/cheap one if I was your buyer I'd be mightily peed off At our last house we installed high end, expensive (Villeroy & Boch, HG Axor Montreux, Porcelanosa) bathroom fittings including a marble-topped vanity unit that cost several thousand £££. When doing so we had intended to stay at the house forever but our circumstances changed. As much as we loved them, we wouldn't have dreamed of removing/replacing this or indeed any fitted pieces once the property was SSTC, as imho these items are part and parcel of the reasoning behind a buyer falling in love with the house!

Hi OP,
I think it is possible that the £s it costs in terms of putting people off buying and disappointing buyers that important items are being taken might be more than the £ value of the items themselves.

Could you offer the buyers the option of buying it. If you take it what will you do with it? If you re use it there will be installation costs if you plan on selling it be realistic about what its worth.

Assuming it suits the house I suspect most buyers would expect the woodburner to be included.
