Considering getting rid of Aga

Hello. We live in a Victorian 3 bed semi, which had an Aga when we moved in. It is about 60 years old and was solid fuel but had been converted to gas.
It is an attractive egg blue and is good for drying washing and keeping the kitchen warm. However, I am not a keen cook and don't make the best of it in terms of doing lots of slow cooked stews etc. I feel like it is gobbling gas and costing lots and that I can't justify it just for looking nice and drying clothes.

Has anyone ever had one taken out? Was it expensive? Did it create a massive mess and mean you needed a lot of work done in your kitchen? Did your gas bills drop dramatically? We're you pleased you did it?

Just trying to work out if there is a big benefit to removing it or if we should stick with it.

Thanks so much for your help.

We inherited one with our house 9 years ago and I still don't love it! We sacrificed a cupobard to put in a Neff oven but before that we bought a good gas BBQ and used to cook everything on that in the summer (we did have a hob though). Ours is turned off for between 4-5 months of the year as I can't bear the waste of paying all that money to run it then opening the windows to let out all the heat......
