Timber frame has been around for hundreds of years, Carlton. Could you say how old your house is?

Jumping ahead of an anticipated answer to The Builder's question, if what you have is a modern timberframed property with a brick or block outer skin (and a 50mm cavity between the 2) what you cannot do is to have insulating foam squirted into that cavity.
This type of property is insulated in a different way - by putting either Rockwool batts or Celotex into the studs of the timberframe from the inside.

Yes ... you would have to insulate using panels/fixings to the inside walls.
What a job tho .. skirting .. doorways .. architrave, etc, etc.
