I'd use a programmable thermostat in the living room then either
remove the existing timer, or set it "on" 24x7.
Sounds a bit complicated.
If you don't want the wifi integration fair enough, the models
without
that are certainly not complicated, e.g.

You forgot to add the link to the receiver required to work with that
Heatmiser transmitter; both would total around £70.
Wouldn't it be possible to wire it to the boiler, so no
transmitter/receivers required?
Yes, I mistakenly though that the device Andy referred to used a radio
signal. But it is a "stand-alone" wired unit.
I already have a wire [2-core only] from where the timer (or
timer/thermostat combo) is going to be installed, to the boiler.
The connections required are shown he

on pages 38 - 40. I think it needs a separate 230V supply if you have
only a 2-wire connection to the boiler at present, but I will let others
who have experience of wiring up that type of device reply definitively.
