Looks like a parka jacket/ duvet that does, should be very warm?

Yep agree with @Tennentslager, it really does look cosy and warm. Cracking shot of the outside too. I may have missed it but what heating system are you going for? Presumably UFH is not an option with a suspended floor or is it ? [excuse my ignorance on these matters! ?]

@Tennentslager I thought it looked like an old carpet from 70s, hopefully it will be warm. It was very itchy and scratchy to handle.

 

@Redoctober UFH is an option for a suspended timber floor. I think @ProDave has done this on his I believe you use a dry screed mix on top of the subfloor, don't know whether the system differs.  

 

At the moment our heating is going to be electric and our stove. I want to utilise the firewood on our croft and hopefully next year make a peat stack. The house is classed as a crofter's cottage, so looking to use the croft to heat the house where possible. 

 

I want to use the electric radiators really just as a quick boost early in the morning. Hopefully the amount of south facing will provide sufficient solar gains for most of the day.

 

Although it can be windy here, generally the temperatures are fairly mild through the winter and the recent snow was fairly rare. The house is well sheltered from the prevailing wind coming off those mountains behind the gable end and from those cold north winds behind the house.

 

Here is a couple more that my wife took when I was working overtime in the office ?
