My small detached house was built in 1928. It was built with engineering bricks (don't ask me why) and has standard lime mortar on the inside walls. When the sun shines is nice and warm but as soon as the sun goes in it's like a fridge. And then there's the damp.....
Why is my house cold and damp?

Gas central heating from a combi boiler, although obviously this is not on between April and October! I should also add that we had cavity wall insulation on three walls but not the fourth "Cos we can't access it". (shed and garage too close to house wall)

When the weather is fine I dry washing outside. Smaller items tend to get dried in the bathroom but I always leave the window open and the door closed. I don't have any extractor fans (can't afford to run the blooming things!) But I do have windows!
If you can afford to run a light bulb, you can afford to run an extractor fan.
