I would like to make it into a pleasant room, so need to tank the

cellar.

Can anybody recommend any systems?

Tanking is an uncertain method, changes the walls from damp to
saturated, is bound to fail sooner or later, and when its cement onto
victorian bricks does considerable damage.

Try a dehumidifier instead. Lime plastering the wall will continue to
allow it to dry and make it all look good.
