Orangeries

About Our Orangeries Service

An orangery sits between a conservatory and a full house extension: it has the light and garden connection of a conservatory but is built with more substantial brick or render piers, a more architectural roof lantern, and an overall quality that reads as a permanent room rather than a glass annex. The result is typically better thermal performance in winter and a more considered finish that suits detached and larger semi-detached homes throughout Hampshire. At Glazeright, we design orangeries to measure — specifying the pier widths, roof lantern size, perimeter flat-roof detail, and glazing configuration that suits your property's scale and orientation. The roof lantern is a defining feature: flush-fit aluminium lanterns with slim bar profiles bring light deep into the space while avoiding the dated look of older designs. Underfloor heating compatibility and bifold or French door access to the garden are standard considerations during the design conversation. Orangeries typically fall within the same permitted-development rules as conservatories, though the greater structural mass can occasionally prompt a planning conversation — our team can advise.
