What size Vaillant ecoTEC plus system boiler would be adequate to heat a 5 bedroomed, 2 bathroom house and a uniSTOR 260 litre unvented cylinder?

a lot of heating "engineers" size by radiators, I don't I always size by your HW demand.

I would guess 30kW minimum based on the limited information you've supplied. Likelihood is more than that.
 
The heating may be 15kw depends on rad sizes. and it also depends how quickly you want the cylinder to go from cold to hot,. 30kw should be more than enough.

Personally I wouldn't add anything for hot water. Size it for heating and get your installer to set it up as HW priority, ideally with WC.
