Default central heating not working

If this is correct then the remote wiring required to install a thermostat
just to regulate one room seems pointless - just give this room a TRV as
well.

Or am I missing something?

Yes! The boiler and pump will continue to run unnecessarily unless switched
off by a stat.

Unless, of course, you go for a Rolls Royce solution - and put a zone valve
controlled by a room stat on each radiator feed - and connect all the zone
valves' voltage-free contacts in parallel to control the boiler and pump.
That way, you can conrol the temperature of each room independendly (like
with a TRV) BUT also have the system automatically shut down when all
demands are satisfied. [If you used a programmable stat in each room, you
could even have different rooms heated at different times if this would be
useful for your particular lifestyle].
