There are several modular flue systems available suitable for woodburning stoves. These can be installed either up the inside of the house or out through the wall and up the outside of the house.

Whilst not cheap, they are considerably less expensive than building a chimney.

There are complex rules as laid down by Building Regulations Document J regarding size, position and termination.
