Yeah, the loft conversion is well insulated to modern standards. The rear extension is a cavity wall with insulation, but also massive bifold doors and a lantern skylight. Everything else is solid brick wall.
I'm adverse to rendering, as I've heard that's likely going to cause huge damp problems on such an old house. As such our only other option is internal insulation, which means we'd lose some floor space and need to completely redecorate everything. I think fairly understandably we're not keen to do that.
250 square metres is dreamy! Maybe I should get working on my wife about a move to rural Spain! ;-)
