One reason I was hesitant was this: unicrown where the tubes are proud of the steerer column, not leaving a huge amount of space to drill. I didn’t fancy DIYing and potentially wrecking it. Argos will charge me what I could probably get a new fork for.

Will they? I've been meaning to take a fork down to them, what're they charging?

Looks like you got enough meat on there but be careful that you'll have sufficient clearance for the caliper on the headset. In the end i got round this by using a Sram caliper that has a sizeable spacer on the back and a less chunky body but it still rubs with some headsets.
And definitely use a bench drill.

there are the pics of the fs thread. apparently that frame sold 5years ago. im effin getting old!
the below picture shows the hole best. it is quite down low, to evade the tubes as is your predicament.
ild drill it a bit up though.
also, heed the good advice given by the rest of the hive mind

Just drill it. Make sure to drill straight though.
