In short, all repeat all, of the sash windows in the bedrooms and the lounge need to be made significantly more draught proof. In a very exposed position, the house gets the full brunt of the Atlantic weather and, in winter, high cold winds are a near constant. The sash windows in both bedrooms and the lounge have huge gaps through which the wind howls and makes these rooms uncomfortable. The meeting bars and vertical stiles fit badly and do not have draught brushes fitted. The wedges fitted to these windows may stop the sashes rattling but they do absolutely nothing to reduce the draughts. It proved impossible to maintain a comfortable temperature in the lounge without the log burner and so we were forced to spend £60 on logs.
