New heating setup as of last night that has worked a treat providing an overnight temp in the early 20s despite low single figures outside. Instead of a simple propane (not butane, my error) frost protector, there's now a proper propane heater installed, with a fan blowing the heat directly into the cloche where the plant is. I was concerned that it might be too warm and dry the plant out, or even cook it such was the heat it gave off, but I checked it through the evening and this morning everything was fine and looking good. I also made sure there was enough ventilation to prevent CO buildup and ensure the CO2 levels didn't get too high, this morning the CO2 was 1300ppm which is fine.
