Son's bedroom is always warm. I don't remember it ever being cold. We had to turn the heating off completely in there last night and this morning it is 17. The rest of the house has had heating on and is 16. We joke about everyone moving into his room when the house is cold.

The facts 🤣
-It's a small house and all the rooms are about the same size.

  • Victorian so no cavity walls etc.
  • We've had to gut the house so know there is nothing unusual about his room.
  • Two external walls. One thick brick internal wall. One plaster board wall (the only one in the house).
  • it has one of those external wall vents that is always open.
  • kitchen, bathroom, boiler and flue are in a ground floor extension well away from his room so can't be heating it.
  • it's above an unremarkable dining room.
  • doesn't get a disproportionate amount of sun.
  • next door don't get this.
  • radiator pipe is about 2m long and next to a wall.

Why is his room always warm? Not moaning. Just puzzled and wondering how to replicate it!

Also, we can't have a fire alarm in there. The batteries run out so quickly. One only lasted a week! We've tried 3 different alarms in there. The alarm just outside his door is fine. We've not noticed any other battery drain.

Any ideas?
