I suspect of old age!
Without knowing the full facts I can't really comment, but they made 'em tough in those days!
He'd certainly have been brought up without central heating, or indeed a bathroom or an indoor loo.
Who knows?
Perhaps at his age he wanted to just see out his long life in his own home, without all the upheaval of having builders disturbing his peace. Or perhaps he was frightened he'd have to move out whilst the renovations were done to his home, and it was his choice to stay there, happy amongst his own things.
The fact is we simply don't know the facts.
Lets just be pleased that the old boy lived to a grand old age in his own home, centrally heated or not.
