I am wondering what type of heating system I have could someone clarify for me.
Pipe 1 I believe is the return to the cylinder but also runs to the attic.
Pipe 2 I believe come from the boiler to the cylinder and pipe 3 to the rads, I am wondering how does this work with out a motorized valve.

pic of the boiler?
 
The system was probably originally installed to just supply hot water. At a later date, a number of radiators have have been plumbed into the system snd controlled by a single manual valve.

What I would advise that you check urgently is that the hot water cylinder thermostat and overheat cut out are fitted and working correctly.

As installed, the system will be very inefficient - but could easily be modified to provide much better control
