WHAT ARE ORANGERIES?
Orangeries are a fantastic way to add extra living space to your home, while bringing in plenty of natural light. They have a traditional feel and are usually made with brickwork, large windows and glass lanterns. Orangeries are ideal for homeowners who want to enjoy the benefits of a conservatory, but also require a space that is more thermally efficient and provides more privacy.
One of the key benefits of having an orangery is the extra living space it provides. You can use it for a variety of purposes, such as a dining room, a playroom, an office or just as a relaxing space to unwind in. Moreover, an orangery can enhance the value of your property, making it an excellent investment.
