Burton - is your budget strictly £1000?
Last year i was trying to get a disc CX/ Commuter together for Cyclescheme money - was very hard without compromises on groupset or wheels. I ended up blowing the budget completely and fudging the Cyclescheme paperwork.
Bought a Kinesis Tripster frame, Crest/Hope wheels/ Sram apex gears.

That said there are a lot more disc OTPs out there now.
Specialized looks good - but only average components.
Steel options from Charge and Planet x/ On one come in at <£1000
Whyte have a few around a grand - might be good if you're tall.
For a bit more you could get this:
