Default insulate behind kitchen rayburn

thanks everybody for advice and for discussion-
the bit behind the rayburn is the hardest to insulate so i'm
concentrating on that,
the rest of the walls and windows could do with some too
(and when i repair the ceiling the major heatloss through the
floorboards will be cut).

However its just occured to me that maybe
I could put kingspan on the outside of the building
because that wall is ugly outside, and is badly rendered
(thereby using the brickwall as a heat store)
[g]


except the wall will act as a heatsink down through the foundations
and up into any more wall above it?

I'd concentrate on the inside.
