Hi
I've got two original Victorian type clothes racks,one in the what we call the back place where the washer and freezers are and another situated in the conservatory where the air source heat pump is. Average drying time is about a day but there's nothing quite like the smell of washing that's been dried on the line outside. If I leave anything that's damp or wet in my engine shed it soon drys as it can get up to 33oC in there,lovely in this weather I must say but impossible to get any large amounts in unless I converted it to a Tardis !

Here in glorious sunny Kerry my good lady and I were discussing other peoples power bills whilst consuming our late breakfast.

Pretty similar to the last post we are trying a couple of approaches in our new house:

South facing double hight sunspace outside the thermal/airtight envelope of the building with openable windows at the bottom and top so it works as a solar chimney.  There are three victorian style clothes hangers mounted from the ceiling.  The heat dump radiator is also in here.

A large cupboard with internal clothes shelves that has an extract vent for the MVHR unit fitted in it.  The water evaporated from the clothes condenses in the MVHR HX.

Not sure which will work best but we will find out soon.
