That looks really sweet mate! I love my own little woodburner too. Mine's set up in a corner as well but without the fireplace surrounding it. Really kicks out the heat too even with a modest fire going on inside. I fitted one of those magnetic temp gauges on the flue to let me know when there's an efficient burn going on, but I find I'm cooking in my own juices! Smaller fires is the answer.
The comments about how close the wood surround has a lot of relevance, and you'll have to keep an eye on that but it'd take a fair bit of heat for the flashover effect to kick in. But so long as you're aware of it then so much the better.
If you're interested in a little accessory for the fire might I suggest one of these. You can buy them for about £70 but I made this one for well under £20 from parts I bought off eBay. Works a treat too. It really isn't rocket science and it was fun to make.

Here's my set up as it was a few months ago, far from finished I know but it does the job. I am soooooo looking forward to firing this old girl up again soon. She dates back from the 1930's. I replaced the mica panels with ceramic glass and bedded them in using fire grade mastic and she's be serving me well for the past few years without a hiccup. I only paid a tenner for it. Over here in France woodburners can be bought for just a few Euros if you're prepared to put some time and effort in to restoring them.
Wishing you many contented hours in front of your fire.
