When you have a growing family, you will rapidly outgrow your home. A home that is overcrowded can lead to arguments and tension and even marriage breakdown. One option is to sell your home and invest in a larger one. But this is easier said than done. A larger home will cost substantially more, and that’s before you take into consideration the upset that is may have on your family. There are other ways to make space, an orangery room being one of them.
So, another way to make your home bigger without moving is to add an extension. A single storey or side return extension will undoubtedly add much-needed space to your house. But, these types of extension can be costly, as well as disruptive. An attic or basement conversion are two other options. But not all homes have loft space suitable, or a basement. Digging down costs a lot of money.
Orangery Room Ideas
An orangery extension is a great way to add extra room to your home without running up huge building bills. An orangery is more sturdy than a conservatory, and is designed for all year round use. The brick base of an orangery extension is perfect for an orangery kitchen, play room, office or indeed any other room you need.
What you use your orangery room for will depend on where you plan to add the extension. An orangery kitchen room will add space to your kitchen and in some cases will allow you to open up the ground floor of your home and make the lounge and dining space flow into one another. If your orangery extension is to built off the lounge, then an office or playroom are two options for your new space. A guest room is another use for your new room, as is a dining room.Your current dining room, if separate, could then be converted into a bedroom.
Planning
Orangery rooms don’t require planning permission. You will however need to stick within the rules. You will need to respect the boundary of your neighbour, and use the rear of your home for your extension plans. Extensions to the front of the home are a lot less common, mostly as you will require planning permission.
