Default Damp patch 5 feet up wall ( not drying ), older building with mineral wool type Cavity Wall Insulation installed in receny years.

Draw a pencil line around damp patch if it starts to dry ,it will be visible
as it shrinks back.
I would not suspect the insulation as the problem more likely a defective
wall tie in this area.
You have solved the problem of the damp source so time and good ventilation
should do the rest.
If you are selling thew house ,couple of coats of a stain block and repaint
should solve immediate problem
