An Idyllic Transformation
How to turn a cold cottage into a warm, cosy home
Picture the scene: a small, picture-postcard cottage, its door surrounded by delicately scented roses, a pretty, white picket fence encircling a tiny, yet perfectly manicured garden, nestled on a dramatic ridge in the beautiful Northumberland countryside.
It sounds idyllic.
And it was.
But, dig a little deeper and the elderly couple who lived in this idyllic scene were struggling. The beautiful cottage, with its thick stone walls had night storage heaters as its only source of heating and old, single-glazed windows, so its two Nonagenarian residents were constantly cold.
Very cold.
Now, we have previously documented the numerous problems associated with old fashioned night storage heaters (read more here) – but, here’s a quick summary: they are uneconomical and wholly inefficient. So, it was no wonder this gorgeous little cottage was never getting warm – the odds were stacked heavily against it.
