Orangeries –
History of the Orangery
The Victorians were great travellers, and botanists, they explored exotic parts of the world and collected rare and unusual plants, when they returned home they wanted somewhere to display them.
They invented a partially glazed heated room attached to their houses, similar to a greenhouse, but accessible from the home, they would display their precious botanical collections to impress their friends, the Orangery was born.
Nowadays, the use of the Orangery has evolved into an all year round room that can be used for a range of purposes, from Kitchen extensions to Sitting rooms full of light, which are warm the whole year round.
Now you can have a beautiful bespoke Oak framed Orangery designed to fit seamlessly to your Home.
A bespoke design, with two roof style options
Their popularity has not waned and today they are incredibly in demand by our many clients, looking for a practical and splendid addition to their home. When constructed of oak, orangeries provide a stunning extension, with a choice of two roof styles.
· Traditional orangery – comprising a flat roof
· Mansard orangery – with a pitched roof that leads to a flat roof
Whichever style you choose, both will include a glazed lantern, allowing ample light into the room.

No longer are we restricted by the practice carried out by the Victorians; now you can use the space as a kitchen, lounge, dining room or even a music or relaxation room. A truly luxurious space, use your orangery throughout the year, spending time with family and friends and with plenty of room to spread out and relax.
