Errr no, basically that's all that is required! Pressurised header tank means a fully pressurised system, why do you need that? This is a specialised solution and most woodburner solutions are defo not specialised!
Woodburners are low tech. Getting one with a boiler fitment is no problem. Getting an inset fire with boiler is no problem. Plumbing in to the CH/DHW system is (generally) no problem.
Badger I have a multi-fuel burner (wood or coal/peat) that runs my 4 bed house heating and hot water no problem. It is linked to a normal vented CH system with indirect DHW cylinder. You are most welcome to take a gander at the set up, feel the heat etc.
Final word about burning wood overnight with dampers closed. The wood needs to be VERY dry. Smouldering green (wet) wood will produce a lot of tar / creosote which will condense on your chimney lining and seep into the brick work joints. Eventually the tar build up will ignite when you have a good fire going, leading to a serious chimney fire that will burn into the mortar joints and cause structural damage to your house. Modern chimney liners make this less of a problem, but beware of what you are burning at low temps.
