    We're hoping to build in about 6 months time, asuming bank gives us money!!! 4000sq foot. 5 beds. Not sure about the insulation part yet. But fairly sure it'll be a wood/multi fuel stove with back boiler that will do up to 14 rads, a range cooker (advice on Stanley/Rayburn appreciated) that will have a boiler to do rads and heat water. The top end Stanley can do up to 30 rads and water and cook, but just wondering would it be more efficient to have a seperate oil central heating boiler to only do it and let the cooker do hot water (there will be solars as well). Just wondering which would be more efficient???

    Just wondering are you thinking of starting a B&B,building something this big,my advise to you guys is to insulate to the highest standard,high performance windows and doors,underfloor heating ,solar,as a heating system I would go for wood burning cooking range connected to a large buffer tank,we will always be able to grow firewood ,not so sure about the oil,I have seen a cooking and heating range that runs automatically on wood pellet and also burns log in a separate chamber,looks like a good option to me,Best of luck with the Bank
