Forget plastering just caulk and tape the joints, a bit of sanding and your done. Insulating between the beams go for 50mm so you have useful joist still that you can hang things up in. I reckon you could get an X4 size machine down there no probs.
    I noticed that with the attic, the atmosphere changed massively once we got it back into use.

    My wife is still complaining that the whole house now smells like basement after I had the door open for a few hours today, hopefully with cleaning it out, regular use and fresh air that should change. I said earlier there was no noticeable smell suggesting damp - it turns out that all those years of chainsmoking clearly did kill my sense of smell because the wife clearly disagrees with my assessment!

    Now, what do you mean by "rads" and vents in the floor? Are you suggesting venting through the floorboards into the front room?


    This is a rough side view for visualisation, it might help my ramblings make a bit more sense!

    Edited to add: X4? If I was flush enough to throw money at one of those I'd have enough to just pay a builder to come and do it for me
