ETA - Draughty Victorian house with original sash window fenestration.
Used to live in an old wooden house on a hilltop in NE Essex. No insulation, oil fuel boiler and open fires. High winds made it creak and draughts everywhere. Don’t remember finding being cold a big problem but the winds blew the tides in and there were a few flood alerts, so it was good being on a hill.Today there is a yellow snow warning for York on Wednesday.

QuoteETA - Draughty Victorian house with original sash window fenestration.The wind speed/direction makes such a difference.Our house stands by itself. We have double glazed, internally insulated the walls, and draught proofed as much as possible, but when the wind blows we can certainly tell the difference!
