Apologies if this is a really stupid question, but is it ok to plug in my
tower fridge freezer and then place it infront of the socket. ie. if I need
to turn off the fridge/freezer at the socket I would need to move the fridge
about 1 foot to the right.

TIA

Yes. There is no emergency switching requirement for a fridge freezer. It
just must remain accessible for maintenance. This means you can't build it
into the proposed location, as you can't move it out of the way.

Thanks,

The combi boiler is next to the fridge and is plugged into a switchless
socket, is it ok to obstruct this with the fridge/freezer as well?

I would think so, provided the fridge freezer is easily moved. As a
precaution, familiarise yourself with your consumer unit and how to disable
those circuits without cutting the lights. Although you might not be
required to have emergency switching, this is of no comfort when the boiler
is pouring smoke.
