I agree - my father being a solicitor, most conveyancers (at least the good ones) will now ask the vendor to complete a 'sellers questionaire' which details everything which is in/excluded from the sale.
Sadly, a lesson here is that if these things are important to you, you need to get them specifically included in the sale.
Whilst I understand the frustration, some sellers (having had buyers negotiate too hard on the purchase price) leave with the mindset of making money where they can. When we sold our last house, I'd took all the curtains down and donated them to charity rather than let the buyer have them

No a legal opinion I know - but perhaps you need to decide what you want the outcome to be and realistically how much of a legal case you have the fireplace.
All the time it is in the shop and you dither with thoughts of injunctions, police reports etc - some fella may be along buying it. If you want it back you may have to cough up the £250 pronto and then fight about things after.

If you do buy it I'd give the shop owner a letter stating you are purchsing it under duress and that it does not way stop you from completeing legal action to recoup your purchase price and any additional costs.

Th fireplace should not have been removed if indeed it was ever a fixture - but if it had been removed, as was stated, and was lying loose against a wall when the house was viewed, then that's a different matter to the possible illegal removal in the first place.
If the local authority won't pursue that it's dead duck really.
