I suppose that we have been through every reasonable option with the OP and the only option that he seems to like is electric....so how about a nice Milwaukee electrically heated coat....?

Ground source heat pumps lose a lot of efficiency when its freezing. So this would not be good for us. Thanks anyway.
The OPs completely irrational and I predict a shambles of a system
Explain why I am irrational?
I am asking what options are available and I can understand you guys wanting to 'push' your own business, but this is to heat my home not line your pockets.

Who's tried to line their pockets?
How many ways are there to heat a property?
What do you expect things to cost?

Your OP states that you don't want the expense of Renewables as you will be selling the property on so put in OIL it would be the cheapest option and cheaper to run than LPG or Electricity never mind the RHI - you won't be there to reap the rewards
Nope...you're wrong on that one! Unless you live in an area with permafrost the heat extractable is broadly the same all year for a GSHP.
It's an AIR source heat pump that loses efficiency when the AIR temperature is below freezing.
How does that work? If that's your perception of people who will never meet you or sell you anything, then forget trying to engage anyone for real. This is a free advice forum, no-one makes anything out of it. Hopefully you'll find someone to give you what you want FOC.
Brother has ground source HP in his 4000sq-feet new build and a harrie leender pharos ceiling suspended wood stove which heats the large open plan hallway.
His hot water generation can use the field loop or the UFH loop as the collector.
Thus in summer time it will provide a degree of cooling to the slabs which are on both levels.
Five in his gaffe and usually a couple of student lodgers from the continent.
His electric bill for the whole house varies between 1200 and 1500 euro per year.

Ground source depends on there being heat in the ground!
The first problem is that you need a smaller field available to dig up to install the heat collection loops.
Have a longer cold spell and you can end up freezing the ground !

The ground area for the coils is undersized...

I pity the poor person who buys your hash up of a barn....I'm curious, why are you so concerned with the running costs of oil and LPG when you are going to sell the property? Or are you saying that a proper wet system will be too dear for you to put in?

i suspect the op has had quotes for different systems and they have been way more than what he thought and is looking for a cheap solution, of which he will have trouble finding.
his original idea was undersink water heaters
a barn conversion property isn't exactly going to be sold for peanuts, so invest in it properly op. how would you feel if you brought a aston martin and someone put a vauxhall corsa engine in it
