It's the house Sass, much of it is dark as it doesn't get the sun on the ground floor. We have air con/heating in our bedroom but nowhere else. If it was lived in full time and the chimney used, the house would be warmer. Quite a few new builds have central heating fitted now, so if we were to move out permanently I would want to sell ours and buy something else. It's fine for visits. Outdoors in winter is still warm enough for tee shirts and shorts - for visitors, locals all wear long trousers and jumpers! Cooler at nights though. Occasionally it does get cold there, I remember the winter we bought the house it snowed for the first time in 30 years!
