I know the advice on here is always to get an attorney and seek legal advice but being in the UK a lot of the advice does not necessarily apply.
What I would like to know is if I decide I can no longer hack reconciliation, how do I find out what I'm entitled to financially? We own a large home in an areas where houses routinely take 2 years to sell and I'm worried about the prospect of affording the mortgage and my WH having to pay for accommodation on my part time wage (I will look to up my hours but work is scarce at the moment). Also, I can't realistically downside as I have 3 neurodiverse teenagers who need their own room and although two are officially adults they are long, long way off moving out and the youngest has an EHCP meaning he will be possibly in education till he is 25.
I think I'd just like some idea of how I'd cope and part of the sadness and anxiety I'm feeling right now is because my home, like my marriage, no longer feels safe and I feel like I have nothing to ground me 😔

You can ask a barrister or solicitor for guidance. Also, it appears that your government has a website that has basic information on getting a divorce. It's against guidelines to post links, but an internet search for divorce guidelines UK should provide some information.
There are so many nuances to everyone's situation that it's tough to give blanket advice other than to seek legal advice.

"but being in the UK a lot of the advice does not necessarily apply."
Bluntly, you would seek legal advice in the UK so it will apply. Sorry but that's the only correct and ethical answer that can be given here to what you would be entitled to financially.
