Our cottage has a small 'study' maybe 1.5m square that were using as a cloakroom/cupboard.
all walls are stone, one outer wall, one neighbouring and one chimney with the other being kinda in between an outer an inner wall.
It has a concrete floor (the rest of the cottage is boarded with about a 1m gap below) and is pretty damn chilly in there and retaining moisture.
keeping the door open to the house helps, but I can't help but feel there's a wat to heat it fairly cheaply.
Thoughts have got to:
keeping a tumble drier in there ...warm but moist.
fitting an electric tube heater with a thermostat. I think that may be expensive though to run
taking a warm feed off the central heating and running either a very small radiator (no idea on costs) or perhaps an underfloor solution that I could install myself?
Open to suggestions please.
Thanks
Insulate it. If it's only used as a cupboard then losing 100mm of each outside wall won't matter. I suggest polystyrene backed plasterboard if it's damp.
fair enough.
cheers
small electric oil filled radiator. even the cheap ones tend to have a thermostat on.
Delonghi Bambino 500w oil heater has done us well and cheap to run on thermostat controlled minimum setting.
I read this as "Heating a small cockroach cheaply" must stop watching I'm a celebrity!
