Details

Crafted by hand in Holmfirth, Yorkshire, the Dunsley Avance 500 is a solid, British-made wood burning stove that delivers on both performance and looks. It’s built to meet the latest EcoDesign standards, which became law in 2022, so you can be confident it's clean-burning and future-ready. With a controllable output from 2.5kW to 7.5kW and a nominal 5kW, it’s ideal for everything from small living rooms to more open-plan setups.

Although it’s designed as a dedicated log burner, you’ve got the option of a smokeless fuel kit if you fancy a bit more flexibility. The kit includes a grate, frame, air slider and ash shovel – all you need to burn authorised smokeless fuels if that suits your setup better. It’s a handy add-on if you're looking for an appliance that can do both while still looking the part in your home.

The Avance 500 has a large viewing window that gives you a great view of the flames, and its clean, modern finish means it’ll fit right in whether your style leans rustic or contemporary. Built for efficiency but not short on charm, it’s a brilliant choice if you’re after a reliable, attractive stove that’s made in the UK and built to last.

Delivery - What to Expect

Our standard deliveries arrive via a 10-tonne lorry (similar in size to a bin wagon or fire engine), equipped with a tail lift and pallet truck.
Access must be suitable: solid, level surfaces (no gravel, steps, steep slopes, or grass).
For palletised deliveries the driver will move the pallet to the nearest accessible point, but cannot go over unsuitable terrain or carry goods indoors, though may place them inside a garage if accessible.
If you have narrow gates, restricted access, or other challenges, please let us know in advance so we can make suitable arrangements.
Our free service is a one-man delivery. We recommend having someone available to assist, especially for larger items.
The delivery driver is not able to unpack or install your goods unless this is a service you have selected.

Checking Your Delivery

On delivery of your palletised goods, the driver will wait up to 10 minutes while you inspect the item(s).
Please check your goods before the driver leaves. If there is any damage or the driver refuses to wait, note this on the delivery slip (e.g., “Driver did not wait – damage unchecked”).
For any damage found, mark the delivery note clearly and contact us immediately.

If you miss your pre-booked delivery, a re-delivery charge may apply.
For smaller items sent via courier (e.g., stove glass), the courier will leave a note with redelivery instructions if you’re not home.
