You will want to insulate the walls, floor, and ceiling. Otherwise, trying to keep the room at 2-10°C, heat from the rest of the house will be sucked in. Don't forget to fit an insulated door too.
At this time of year, ducting air in from outside will keep the space cold. During the warmer months, some active cooling may be required - You can get chiller units for just such a task. More often fitted to wine "cellars" (they can also control humidity).
Her courage will change the world.
Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.
I've experience of my great aunts larder. No power was used.
North facing so no sun and always cool, with slate or terracotta thick flooring. There used to be a hole in the wall with a cupboard hanging outside the front covered in stout metal material that let air in and that kept the meat safe and fresh. There was a knee high ledge with thick slate on top. That kept the veg fresh.
No freezers or fridges. Mind the ice cream was kept in the well which might be unobtainable now
My larder was north east facing small end wall sw, quarry tiles and single skin. That kept things fresh, blooming freezing in winter. The coal shed where I stored fruit was east and sw end. Not as cold as you may think as sunrise, even winter could warm it.
The only normal people you know are the
ones you don’t know very well

I remember my country dwelling aunt's having these. They were always occupied by hanging rabbits and pheasants. I was always glad to get home to mum's cooking although it wasn't until I was about 10 that I realised fish didn't have fingers.
Still puzzled after 17 years on MSE why people sign up and post to find solutions to problems they could have easily avoided by searching the forums in the first place.WD40 is not a panacea or lubricant. Stop spraying it everywhere!
