Victorian Conservatory - Benefits & Costs

The most popular style in the UK, the Victorian style conservatory has a traditional look that suits the majority of properties. The flexibility of design in Victorian conservatories also means that they are suitable for a range of uses and are often enjoyed as dining rooms, playrooms or second living rooms.

The main feature of a Victorian conservatory is the bay front, combined with a steeply pitched roof and ornate detailing. The majority of Victorian conservatories will also feature a dwarf wall – a small wall running around the bottom section of the conservatory.

A dwarf wall isn’t always present – some builds may be fully glazed, with glass from top to bottom.

Generally Victorian conservatories have a multifaceted design with 3, 5 or even 7 window facets, however a P-Shaped conservatory is also a popular choice.

The bay and multifaceted design of a Victorian conservatory will give you panoramic views of your garden or surrounding areas. The styling, which often features ornate and eye catching design, means that Victorian conservatories look beautiful on older properties but also make a stylish addition to newer builds.

Space is another big plus, with the versatile roofing meaning you can choose a style and shape to fit your needs.
