    How much would it cost to put in a stove with a back boiler so the house can be heated up with it.

    How many rads do you have?
    Where is your fireplace in relation ti the hot water cylender?
    Do you have an open vented or sealed central heating system?

    About 9 rads. Fireplace is in sitting room. Main bedroom above about 5ft across is the cylinder.

    not sure what you mean by the last question

    Do you have a pressure guage somewhere on the system? , It will be either in the hot press near the cylinder or near the boiler.

    The boiler is the condensed kind

    That doesnt answer the question.
    If its a sealed system with a pressure gauge then you can't put a stove in, it would have to be changed to an open vent system, you will also need a new dual coil hot water cylinder and some plumbing will have to be done obviously.

    There is no sign of a gauge in where the boiler is. Could be one in the hot press
