Old-fashioned 'bar' fires are radiant and if you find an old one without too paranoid a guard on it you can use it to make toast too. :D Just don't let the folk touch the element. :omg:
Old pallets would be a good base for the floor.
As for heating, the obvious thing would seem to be to tap a radiator off your central heating - you could probably get one out of a skip if you can beat the skip-divers or buy one off them cheap. Never mind the BTUs - just get the biggest you can and bung a TRV on it. Leave it low all the time and then whack it up when you're in there. This was my tactic in my back room and I is well cosy.
