Cavity wall insulating an internal wall

I live in a 1990 built 4 bed detached house which has cavity wall insulation on all of the outer walls.

The small 4th bedroom above the garage which is the same size as bedroom 3 and has the same size window and radiator is always noticeably colder and suffers a faster temperature drop when all of the bedroom doors are shut. Our hall and stairs also feels quite cool.

In the past I have double insulated the loft above this bedroom and insulated below the floorboards in case cold was rising up from the garage below but still this bedroom is cold. On checking the internal garage cavity wall between the garage and the hall, which also extends into the bedroom above, it would appear that this wall has no cavity insulation.

I am now having the garage converted into a room and was wondering whether I would feel any benefit from having this wall cavity filled with some sort solid setting insulation seeing that this wall will now be heated on both sides. My logic is that this wall will still be cold as cold air from the roof and loft will still fill the cavity.

Once you turn it intro a room, the need for the insulation falls away. It itself will be a far better insulation AS A ROOM than any cavity wall insulation could ever be, and if it itself is insulated, then trebly so. Unless you are using it for cold storage or something.

Insulation works to stop heat travelling between areas of distinctly different temperatures. If the garage/room is now at sensible indoor temp - insulation does nowt.
