Orangeries in Hastings and Sussex

What is an orangery?

An orangery is a different take on the classic conservatory. Instead of being built mostly from glass, it’s built mainly from brick or masonry chosen to match your existing house, much like a traditional extension.

Tall, floor-to-ceiling windows and a lantern-style roof bring in the light. The result is a room that adds real depth to your home and looks as though it has always been there.

The best of both

With an orangery you get the bright, airy feel of a conservatory together with the privacy and insulation of an extension. That makes it a comfortable room to use all year round, not just in summer.

If your garden faces south, an orangery can also give you welcome relief from too much sun. The solid walls and roof give you shade, while the windows and lantern still let natural light flow in.

A room for the way you live

Orangeries are versatile, so the design starts with how you want to use the space. Popular choices include:

• a kitchen diner or dining room;
• a sitting room looking out over the garden;
• a guest bedroom;
• a home office or home gym.

Orangery or conservatory?

If you want the most glass and the most light for your space, a conservatory may suit you better. If you want a room that feels like part of the house, with more privacy and more solid walls, an orangery is usually the better fit. We’ll talk you through both when we visit, so you can compare them for your home.
