Warm in here tonight. Got the fan on in the vague hope it'll help
This place traps the heat very effectively, probably due to the tall windows letting it in and the thick Victorian walls keeping it in. We need a week of cool, or better still cold, weather, and then it'll get back to normal.Comment

I'm East to West. So East rooms are cool but West room can be very hot."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Originally posted by NickFitz View PostThe front faces a little south of east, and the back faces a little north of west. So the living room warms up in the morning, then the kitchen gets the sun in the evening.
So you need to work in the living room then move to the kitchen.
Alternatively you could ensure a draft can go through from SE to NW and keep the curtains/blinds drawn in the living room during the day."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

I do tend to leave most of the curtains shut, but the windows are about eight feet high and form a bay that spans almost the entire width of the room (so the side windows of the bay face roughly north and south), so that only helps a little. Nice to have such big windows, though - when I first viewed the place back in 2004, I was sold the moment I saw them from the inside; I'd often thought when walking past this terrace over the years that I liked the big windowsComment
