If one is willing to give up a bit of interior space in order to keep the charming stone exterior, they can also insulate on the interior of the wall, probably with some kind of vapor barrier between the stone wall and the insulation to keep condensation on the cold stone wall away from the interior.
- fy20 4y agoThe tricky part is these houses are probably already small to begin with. In the village I grew up in, there were old houses with ceilings where I (1.80m) couldn't stand up straight.
