How about a red hawthorn tree? Beautiful in flower, beautiful hips in autumn, great for the native wildlife, doesn't grow tall, tough as anything. I was thinking of getting "Paul's Scarlet" myself, as it happens.
Two more I was thinking about: an Amelanchier tree, another nice small one with lots of seasonal interest.
Also the winter flowering cherry tree Prunus subhirtella autumnalis. I have planted this in other gardens, it has very welcome pale pink flowers on bare branches from late autumn through to spring, whenever there's a few mild days in a row. Plant it somewhere where you walk past it every day. Pretty boring in the summer, mind.
