If you are looking for a way to make more space within your home on a budget, a small orangery extension from BBN is a great solution. Unlike traditional extensions, an orangery doesn’t need much brickwork, and is much quicker to complete. The glass used in an orangery will also bring much-needed natural light to your home.
If your home is semi detached, a small orangery extension is the perfect way to create space without causing havoc with the neighbours. Unlike a two storey extension that would require a party wall agreement, an orangery will not need planning or consent. Of course, you will have to abide by the rules and ensure you don’t block your neighbours light, or build too close to the boundary. Although a party wall agreement is not necessary for a small orangery extension, talking to your neighbours about your plans is common courtesy.
Small Orangery Extension Ideas
To avoid planning, your orangery will be to the rear of your home. This means that the perfect option is to use your orangery for a kitchen and dining room. Your kitchen can become the focal point of your home when you make it bigger and more inviting. Depending on the age of your property, the kitchen will often be small and without space for even a small table.
Opening up your kitchen and allowing it to flow into your orangery extension is perfect for any family home. As your orangery will back onto your garden, you will have direct access to your garden from the kitchen extension. This is a great idea if you are going to be eating outdoors and bringing in and taking out plates.
Orangery Versus Conservatory
When adding an extension that includes glass, you may wonder what the difference between an orangery and an extension is. A conservatory is made with a larger proportion of glass and less brickwork. For this reason, if you are going to use your extension all year round, an orangery is a better and more substantial solution. Conservatories are more likely to be freestanding builds in your garden that can be used as a summer house or as a traditional greenhouse
