Modern orangeries are becoming increasingly popular here in the UK as one of the go-to extension choices for many homes. However, is an orangery a good investment? Should you buy an orangery or go for an alternative option? First, let's look at what an orangery is.
What is an orangery?
An orangery is a house extension with a stone or brick base. It generally will feature large windows, along with a glazed roof lantern in the centre. Conservatories will differ from this design since they are almost all glass, apart from a low brick base.
More living space
With an orangery extension, you are extending your property, meaning you will have more living space. Whether you are looking for a larger kitchen/diner, lounge, office or another room, installing an orangery is a great way to maximise your property. Just imagine having more space at home to enjoy quality time with family and entertaining friends, the value of this is priceless.
Monetary gain from installing an orangery
When deciding to install an orangery at your property, there is a very high probability that it will increase in value since you are adding more space to the property, whether it's with an extra room or an extension of an existing room.
Typical property increases are in the range of 5-10% however in some cases it can be up to 15% or higher for large orangery builds. On average a 6 x 4 metre quality aluminium framed orangery including all associated building work will be approximately £3000 sqm depending on various factors and your requirements.
