Orangeries
Bespoke orangery extensions will add timeless appeal, living space and an amazing focal point for your home. These ample structures are built using more traditional building methods and can be designed to match the look of your existing property with pitched or flat roof options.
An orangery is essentially a cross between a conservatory and an extension, giving you all the benefits of a brickwork aesthetic combined with superior light and space and they tend to have a flat roof. The brickwork and glazing options used allow for a seamless integration with your home and will let in lots of natural light.
Due to their brickwork, bespoke orangeries have a more solid feel, yet they still offer the views of a conservatory with a meticulous finish to each and every panel. Orangeries are a bright and airy space, guaranteed to bring you and your family a wealth of joy for many years to come. A modern orangery is an affordable way to add valuable living space to your home. Whether you want an orangery kitchen extension, extra space for the kids, or a home gym, an orangery installed by us can be used all year round.

The history of the Orangery
Orangeries originated in Italy as part of the Renaissance gardens, built against garden walls separate from the main house. Orangeries were built from the finest brick and stone available at the time, used at the base to support the heavy glass panes.
Originally used to shelter citrus fruit trees from harsh weather in the 17th century and 19th century, whilst still being able to be flooded with natural light. Orangeries nowadays are the connection from your home to your garden and modern orangeries still hold a level of beauty any homeowner would dream of owning to provide an extra layer of detail to their living area, whilst enhancing the existing architectural style of a property.
Their incorporation of a glazed lantern roof allows for beautiful airy daylight to flood in, but the surrounding deck also offers the possibility to include lighting fixtures; making orangeries the perfect option for lazing at any time of day.
How big can you build an orangery without planning permission?
There are a few general rules that define how big you can build an orangery without planning permission. If you stick within these permitted development rights you could build quite a large orangery but it depends on factors like how big your home is if the home is detached or semi-detached, listed and what side of your property you want to extend with the orangery.
- The extension does not sit forward of the principal elevation.
- Materials should be similar to the original structure.
- Where it is within 2m of any boundary, the eaves cannot be higher than 3m, and no more than 4m in height otherwise.
- Side extensions: The width of the extension must not be greater than half the width of the original.
- Side extensions are not permitted on Article 1(5) Land (e.g. Conservation areas and AONB).
- Rear extensions: No more than 8m in depth (detached house) or 6m in depth (semi-detached/terrace).
- While these parameters provide some helpful guidance it is worth consulting the www.planningportal.co.uk for a full list of parameters and limitations. Conservatories and orangeries can vary slightly. However, as a general rule of thumb, they have to be built lower than the rest of the property.
