I can't stress how true this is. I grew up in a cottage in Northumberland and the walls were solid stone. Despite the loft being well insulated the house is freezing unless you pump a load of heat into a room, and even then when you turn off the heat it cools very quickly.
Following with interest, glad you made the thread! I'm in favour of the renovation route, I think the extent of the renovations you're doing give scope for the place to be a fantastic mix of old and new.
