We would like to install the stove in this room. However, it doesn't look like there's enough clearance between the chimney and the wall. Any suggestions?

Double wall stove pipe can be installed 6 inches from combustibles. You'll probably run out of clearance at the corners/sides of the stove long before running out of pipe clearance in that location.
What model stove and are there built-in or available rear and side heat shields?

You could probably make that work but as soon as I saw that picture, all I could see was smacking into it or the pad underneath it in the middle of the night. It would probably be well into the room even after clearances were met.
I assume the bump out behind the stove is the chimney you want to use correct? What type of liner is in the chimney? You are correct you won't have room for proper clearances if you go into either face of that chimney but you can go into the corner.
What does the rest of that wall look like to the right? and /or how big is the opening to the left?
It is a cinder block chimney with a clay liner.. Is it possible to go into the corner?
Wall is 4 feet to the right to a door. The opening to the left is an 8 foot archway.

Yes but a block chimney with clay liners needs 2"clearance to combustibles. You clearly don't have that so you will need an insulated stainless liner
Yeah you are going to need an insulated liner and strip off whatever is covering the chimney in that area. Go in through the corner

So, I will need a liner... The only thing in the chimney will be this stove. If I put the hole/thimble/tee a couple feet from the ceiling, it will be 20' to the top of the chimney. How many feet below the thimble/hole/tee do I have to extend the liner?
And that would be great to use but it would mean allot more liner to run down to it
ok, so, I need to terminate the liner at the bottom instead of just leaving it open? Can't I just run it down a couple feet from the thimble and leave it open?
So, basically I can go down another 8 feet to the basement thimble and put in another tee? That would be the cleanout?
