I've always heard it called a cwtch, but that's apparently just a Welsh thing.

    That's basically what we called ours too, but after looking it up it might be called a cold room or root cellar too. They're common in old houses, some even have a vent to the outside for food storage purposes.

      I've never heard "root cellar" refer specifically to that room, but it makes sense. Fill that sucker up with tasty parsnips n shit

        common misconception, the root cellar is actually the cellar that grants you full privileges over all other cellars in the basement operating system
