>>Heating the cottage will make condensation worse, as warm air holds more moisture.

Ah! ... when we moved here nigh-on 7 years ago, we used to get mold on the wall going up the staircase which is adjacent to the kitchen (steam)

Now that the cottage is properly heated via a multi-fuel stove and ventilated, we never see any mold at all at all.

I take your point about condensation, as there are some 'what look like' damp patches there now which could well be caused by the steam from the kitchen going up the stairwell.

I do have an extractor fan above the cooker... but I can't hear the radio when the damn thing is on.
