Like Gavin - have solid walls from 1830, so its cold. However, Ive not put the heating on yet, and still have the .stat at 15 degrees. Just wearing fleeces in the evening, and single glazed sash windows have shutters - open during the day for solar gain and close at night for minimising heat loss, keeps the house bearable. If it gets very chilly, I have an open wood fire, and I light that, which is surprisingly good at warming the room. The aga Keeps the kitchen warm, and occasionally if sitting still/ working - I’ll go for a warm up - tea, aga, wife and a doodle hug from Tess of the doodlevilles sorts the chills..
