need some inspiration or ideas.

My problem is my washing machine which I have in my brick outhouse. I cannot fit it into my small kitchen as I have a much needed dishwasher in there.

The problem being is that when it’s very cold (what with winter round the corner) the pipes freeze and this means I cannot use the washing machine.

I now need a new one as the seal is broken and its leaking water (lucky it’s outside and not in the house).

Is there such a thing as an outside washing machine?
Will it still freeze if I lag pipes with electric lagging? (I have put some lagging on them to no effect) Do I lag the cold flow pipe to machine? Can I insulate the washing machine in anyway? Will this stop the freezing?

Can I get some sort of low temp heating in the outhouse which will keep it above freezing temps without costing the earth?

I can put it where the fridge is in the house but I cannot put the waste pipe down the drain. Can you get some sort of bucket designed for this?

Many thanks in advance…….
