Just an update - TeamViewer installed and working well - thanks to all who suggested it.
For the benefit of anybody else who is thinking of doing a similar thing, just some notes.
It will only work when the remote machine is powered up and W10 is running. It is possible to configure the Wake-on-LAN option with Teamviewer, but then requires a dedicated IP address or to use a DynamicDNS service. Whilst I may configure this when I am back in the UK, it now provides most of what I need. I will probably adjust the sleep options so that that his machine stays awake longer after his bedtime!
The following article is well worth reading
