Will Aga R7 be enough to heat my 7.5m x 4.5m x 2.4m kitchen?

Hi. We are knocking through our kitchen and dining room to make one larger room. The dimensions are 7.5m x 4.5m with 2.5m high ceilings.

At present there is 2.5m curved radiator under a bay window in one room and a 1.5m radiator under a window in the other room. We’re putting a French door in and will lose the area of wall where the 1.5m radiator is.

It is a 1930s solid wall house with no insulation. The current set up keeps the rooms warm enough. For better or for worse my other half has had an aga growing up and we’re almost certainly going to get one.

Will the 2.5m radiator + always on Aga R7 be enough to heat the whole larger room? Apparently the heat output of the Aga is 0.5kw - 1kw depending on the setting (not 100% on that). Will that be enough heat or will we need to look into siting a new second radiator?
