Conservatories

Edwardian conservatories

Square corners, a clean hipped roof and every inch of floor put to use. An elegant room that takes furniture easily.

Garden rooms

The practical classic

An Edwardian conservatory, sometimes called Georgian, has a flat front and a square or rectangular plan. Without the angled corners of a Victorian, the whole floor is usable: a dining table sits squarely, a sofa goes against a wall, and nothing is lost to awkward shapes.

The roof is pitched on three sides and rises to a central ridge, giving height and an airy feel inside. Add a gable front, where the roof meets the front frame as a vertical triangle of glass, and you have a gable-end conservatory with real presence.

Every corner usable

A square plan makes furnishing simple and wastes nothing.

A lofty roof

Hipped on three sides, or finished with a full-height glazed gable.

Doors where you want them

French doors to the front or side, or bifolds across the whole face.

Built for the seasons

A-rated frames and a choice of glass or solid insulated roofs.

Hipped, gabled or double-hipped

A standard Edwardian roof slopes back from the front and both sides. A gable front stands upright instead and floods the room with light; it is a handsome choice for taller houses. Where the house wall is low, as on a bungalow, a double-hipped roof slopes back towards the house too, keeping the ridge below the eaves.

We will measure the height available under your first-floor windows or eaves and recommend the roof that fits properly rather than the one that merely fits.

Questions

Good things to ask

Straight answers to the questions we hear most about this product.

What is the difference between Edwardian and Victorian conservatories?

The shape of the front. A Victorian has an angled, faceted bay. An Edwardian is square. The Edwardian gives more usable floor area for the same footprint; the Victorian has a softer, more decorative outline.

Can an Edwardian conservatory be fitted to a bungalow?

Yes. A double-hipped roof with a box gutter along the house wall keeps the ridge low enough to sit beneath the eaves.

Can I have a solid roof instead of glass?

Yes. A lightweight tiled roof with an insulated, plastered ceiling makes the room feel like part of the house. Roof windows can be added to keep the daylight.
