Hi, I get my water from the nearest farm. So pressure is very low, have recently had a loft conversation, which means I have no room for a header tank.
Can I install a header tank in my brick shed, near the mains meter with a pump to get the required pressure to the first floor?
Do I have to leave cold taps on the standard mains, or just the kitchen one?
Many thanks for your help.

Yes you can as above easy box and separate tank

In regards to capacity of the tank go for the largest you can afford / fit

And you can have the whole system off the tank and pump if you would like
 
I would go for if you can 200l and yes that's the pump
