Beautifully Designed Edwardian Conservatories for Your Home
Most people choose an Edwardian conservatory for a simple reason: it gives them a room that's easy to live in. The straight walls mean a sofa or dining table sits neatly against the edge, and you don't lose any floor to a curved front.
It's also a shape that suits a lot of houses. We match the brickwork, window lines and roof pitch to your home, so the finished room looks as though it was always part of the building.
What Is an Edwardian Conservatory?
An Edwardian conservatory, sometimes called a Georgian conservatory, has a square or rectangular floor plan and a flat front. The roof slopes up from all sides to a central ridge, which gives you plenty of height in the middle of the room.
Most are built on a low brick wall, known as a dwarf wall, with double-glazed windows above. You can also have glass down to the floor if you'd prefer more light and a fuller view of the garden.
Edwardian or Victorian: Which Gives You More Space?
If two conservatories have the same width and depth, the Edwardian will give you more usable floor. A Victorian conservatory has an angled bay at the front, which looks lovely but cuts into the corners. That's why Edwardians are often picked for dining rooms and playrooms, where every metre counts.
Benefits of an Edwardian Conservatory
Beyond the extra floor space, there are a few other reasons this style stays so popular.
Classic Design with Modern Comfort
The shape is traditional, but today's frames and glass keep heat in far better than the conservatories many of us grew up with.
Maximising Natural Light
With straight walls and a high roof, daylight spreads evenly across the room, so you won't be left with dark corners.
A Room That Can Change with You
A simple rectangle is easy to rearrange. It can start as a playroom and become a dining room or home office later on.
Our Edwardian Conservatory Design and Installation Services
Every conservatory we build is designed for the house it joins. These are the main options we'll talk through with you.
Bespoke Edwardian Conservatory Designs
We set the width, depth, door position and glazing bars to suit your home, so you're never tied to a standard kit size.
uPVC Edwardian Conservatories
uPVC is good value and needs very little upkeep. It comes in white, cream and a range of colours and woodgrain finishes.
Aluminium Edwardian Conservatories
Aluminium frames are slimmer and stronger, so you get larger panes of glass. They look especially sharp in anthracite grey.
Opening Up to the House
If you'd like the conservatory to flow into your home, we can talk through removing part of the existing wall.
Edwardian Conservatory Roof Options
The roof has the biggest effect on how the room feels, so it's worth deciding this early.
Glass Roofs
A glass roof lets in the most daylight and gives you a view of the sky. Solar control glass helps to reduce glare and summer heat.
Solid and Tiled Roofs
A solid roof feels more like an extension and is quieter in heavy rain, although you will get less light from above.
Glazing and Insulation
Whichever roof you choose, we'll match the glazing and insulation to how often you plan to use the room in winter.
What Size Edwardian Conservatory Do You Need?
Start with your furniture and work outwards. A table for six needs room for chairs to pull back and for people to walk around it, so it takes up more space than most people expect. Once you know what's going in the room, the right size usually becomes clear.
Door position is just as important. Doors placed to one side leave a clear wall for furniture, while central doors can turn the room into a walkway. We'll also check how much garden you'll have left, and how the roof sits below your upstairs windows.
Will It Be Warm Enough to Use in Winter?
It can be, as long as it's specified with that in mind. A room with good double glazing, an insulated base and suitable heating is comfortable far beyond the summer months. Tell us how you'd like to use it and we'll recommend what's needed, which is especially useful if you're planning a year-round dining room. If you'd like something more solid, take a look at our orangeries in Newcastle, or contact us for advice.

How Much Does an Edwardian Conservatory Cost?
The price depends on your home and the choices you make, so we'd rather give you a proper figure than a rough guess. Our quotes are free and there's no obligation to go ahead.
What Affects the Price?
Size is the biggest factor, followed by the frame material and roof type. The amount of brickwork, the glazing you choose and any groundwork your site needs will also affect the total. Electrics, heating and flooring are extras to think about, so we'll make it clear what your quote includes.
Do You Need Planning Permission?
Often you won't. Many Edwardian conservatories count as permitted development, as long as they stay within the limits on depth, height and position. The rules are tighter for listed buildings and in conservation areas.
Building regulations are a separate matter. A ground-level conservatory under 30 square metres can be exempt if it's mostly glazed and separated from the house by external doors. A solid roof normally removes that exemption, so we'll check this with you before you decide.
