What kind of boiler have yee?
Is it old? Behind fireplace? Back-boiler?

Newish? Got an airing cupboard with a cylinder?
Combi or system boiler?

Give me facts, man, facts!!!
Actually just the make and model will do.

As for ventilation, that's only a safety issue if it's a heating appliance over 7kW with a non-balanced flue.

The first one
There's a beigey fireplace that looks like it's from a few decades ago. The little metal bit at the bottom has the words 'Baxi Bermuda' on it.

Right, well there we have it!
You have the most reliable (yet boring) back-boiler in the universe.
For that you do need ventilation :( but you'd be surprised how little.
Is there another floor vent? Or maybe crack open the door?

no floor vent
but I could live with never closing the lounge door

All you need is a bit of adventitious air.
Rooms obviously don't heat efficiently by convection if the doors are open, I'm assuming there's at least one radiator in that room? It'll get draughty :( but just crack the door a wee bit and things'll be fine. What kind of windows are there in the rest of the ground floor?

Oh Gawd, you're actually going to kill someone on the internet with your half cut advice
