I have an old Victorian house… I’ve got an alcove that’s about 120mm deep, and 1.2m wide, looks to be a design feature! I’d like to fill this in , so was hoping that I could insulate just the alcove, the rest is solid brick, (double thickness). What’s the best way to do this? Just batten and insulate it in wood fibre, or something a bit more special? Does a gap at the bottom help with any condensation? Aware this is a partial wall, etc, and won’t be insulating the whole wall… (just the alcove). Is this worth the effort? Or is it just better to plaster board over the alcove and leave it?

Thanks
