At first sight this looks like just the wood-burner with boiler I've been looking for.
Therefore many thanks for posting.

Having investigated the hardware for linking pressurized and open, heated-water CH systems I'd given up 'cos of the cost of the heat exchanger and the kilometres of pipe work needed.
I'd therefore opted for a self design / build blown air system for my SE wood-burner with boiler.
Broseley seem to have solved my problem :


What is the Safety Cold Water System?
The Safety Cold Water System has been developed to run a woodburning boiler stove on a sealed heating system. .... A sealed heating system boiler facilitates the integration of solid fuel boilers into the house existing heating system without the need for any means of incorporating a vented boiler into an unvented system and the associated pipe work and controls.
I'll be checking prices, and if fitting is a DIY task, which will be the major critical factor :sunshine: :farmer:
