Mrs Howard's parents gaff in Canada always amazed me with its ability to retain warmth despite the outside temperature being mega-cold.

Terraced houses init. Next door provides the insulation. Unless you are unlucky as in Aggi's case where you are the end of the terrace, in which case you have a huge combined heat sink & cold bridge.
The real fuckers are pre 1950s detached houses and semis that either had single skinned brick walls or (if you were lucky) cavity walls with just an air-gap.
If I was in an EOT or the Edwardian semi we nearly bought, I'd get something on the exposed wall if I could. Suspect the boundaries might be an issue with external insulation which is a right fucker as internal is both shitter and a more of a ball ache to do.
