I haven't installed a thermometer in my larder so can't give any detail (yet).  We aren't living in the house (yet).  But we are using the larder for some food stuffs, wine and storage for other stuff and it is significantly cooler than the house.  It was delightfully cool during the brief heat wave in Aug.

Ours is insulated but not heavily.  Had a top vent and bottom vent to the outside.  Is on a separate slab so no underfloor heating contamination via the slab.  Has a passive door between it and the kitchen.  It doesn't feel damp in there, but it is cool.

And the key is it is north facing and literally never sees any sunshine.  It is also under trees.

I reckon its going to be brilliant.  And exactly what I was aiming for.  And a thermometer is on my Christmas list so will report progress.
