Are landlords obliged to provide a cooker in an unfurnished property?

We are about to rent out a house that does not have a cooker, just a space for a free standing one with a gas connection.
A local estate agent mentioned to my husband that we are legally obliged to provide a cooker. Please could you tell me if she is right as I did not think it was a legal requirement in an unfurnished property.
Thanks for any advice given.
Kind Regards

I did purchase a brand new oven with cooker 2 years ago in our unfurnished accommodation for our tenants. They ruined it completely. I will not be replacing. Thoughts?
