It's the first year I've managed to be organised enough to sow chillis and peppers early. I sowed them in first week of March and pricked them out into small pots a couple of weeks ago and they've been happily growing on a sunny windowsill in the house.
I am now wondering if it will be ok to take them down the lottie and keep them in an unheated greenhouse. Or should I keep them in the house a bit longer.

Mine have been in my unheated greenhouse for a couple of weeks.
They are inside propagators though and haven't grown much.
-
If I was that far north I think I'd be inclined to keep them indoors for as long as possible, ideally until all risk of frost has passed. I'm in London and mine are still indoors as I don't have a heated greenhouse either.

Mine have been in my unheated greenhouse for about two weeks now, if it's a cold forecast I put one of those plastic lids over the seed tray the pots are standing in. I'm not far away from you so if your careful it will be OK.

Mine live in mini greenhouse during the day but come in at night, ladt year a frost in late MAY killed mostof mine >:(
Mind you they weren't under any cover then at all.
