    High ceilings, outside walls, uninsulated walls, Huge window, small radiator - not much can be done!

    Is the chimney blocked up? A lot of warm air can dissapear up a chimney and a lot of cold draughts can come down. Try putting a heavy curtain across the fireplace to block it.

    I figured as much but thought it was worth a check

    Yeah the chimney is boarded up and there doesn't seem to be any draughts from that.
