Currently looking at buying a Fairford and was wondering if anyone had experienced cold feeling next to rear doors in the winter months?

We don’t get draughts through the rear doors but the single glazed rear windows can be cold. That’s soon fixed by pulling the blinds up.

The insulation in our Warwick rear doors was appallingly thin, not properly secured in place and missing in some places. I have replaced it with modern blown polythene insulation twice as thick held in place with the appropriate spray adhesive.  This allows a for some air circulation and cannot hold moisture. For nights when a frost is likely we have panels cut from silver screens type insulation cut to fit all the rear windows hemmed and with strip magnets to hold them in place on the rear windows. The ones for the side windows just slip in against the glass before pulling up the blinds. 
Does make a difference!
