The previous owners of our c.1910 mid terrace knocked out the internal walls between the hallway, lounge & dining room. While this makes for a nice open plan living space in a resonably narrow house it means that the downstairs is next to impossible to heat and noise travels straight up the open staircase to the bedrooms. With that in mind we're intending to reinstate the walls to as they once were, with both loune & dining room doors off the hall, but leave the lounge/dining wall open for double doors to be installed.

The replacement walls will be straight forward studwork with plasterboard and a skim coat. I was wondering what the benefits would be of insulating the cavity of the stud walls. We're a mid terrace so heat loss either side is negligable.

Would we really see a benefit of insulating the internal walls or is it not worth bothering?
