why is this unrealistic?

I don't have the funds for that.

a wood burning stove

might as well drive a diesel car and fly everywhere!

Hardly, you can get by-product from various industries that can be used to produce an eco fuel which you burn instead of pieces of wood. i.e. furniture production waste and saw dust is compressed to produce a brick which slow burns and releases a fair amount of heat, and then the stove itself radiates for ages which increases overall efficiency.

Certainly for an open wood burning fire I'd agree with you.

fair .. we just replaced ALL windows at our place .. victorian end of terrace with double bays .. £6k, double glazed sash .. wasnt as expensive as I thought it would be

We had a modern wood burner installed at our last place that was £2.5k

Also Laminate flooring with decent underlay makes a diff and fairly cheap and hassle-free to get it installed.

Thats very cheap - guessing that's uPVC rather than wood sash?
