What is a Victorian Conservatory?

The Victorian conservatory is the most traditional conservatory style, and it suits all house types, from period to modern contemporary. Sometimes referred to as Victorian sun-rooms. The Victorian conservatory style can consist of a three-facet or a five-facet design which includes a bay front, a pitched roof with ornate ridge details and a faceted or rounded appearance. Our Victorian conservatories are made with extra space and light in mind. These stunning period style conservatories can be modified to fit the shape of your garden without giving up its design. If you are looking to add this to your home, you can reflect the internal style to your taste, whilst keeping the exterior in its traditional beauty.

Why choose a Victorian conservatory?

Delightful garden views

Suiting all styles of homes, a Victorian conservatory with its classical character and distinctive rounded shape is a great way to add value and space to your home. Not only do you benefit from an extra room, the bay curved front gives you a panoramic setting to enjoy your garden come rain or shine. The intricate cresting and finials add a true touch of the Victorian era to your home.

Historic design, modern performance

Comprising of a bay front, steeply pitched roof and ornate ridge details, a Victorian conservatory adds unique Victorian character and elegance to almost any property. The timeless, classic feel will complement period style homes and create a statement on modern homes. With its wide rounded appearance, a three-facet shape conservatory offers a pronounced shape, while the five-facet conservatory has a subtle rounded bay front. Perfect for doors opening out into your garden.

Usable space all year round

Our Victorian conservatories are designed to stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer so you have a beautiful, light-filled space you can enjoy all year round. Our glazing reflects enough sun rays away to keep your room cooler, while the coating on the inside of the glass reflects heat back into your home. Plus, our multi-chambered profiles and argon-filled glass traps the heat, keeping you comfortably warm.

What roof can I have on a Victorian conservatory?

At Everest, we give you the choice of 3 distinctive roof types for your new Victorian conservatory.

Glass conservatory roof

A very common option when designing a new conservatory is to choose a glass roof. Glass conservatory roofs consist of large glass panels that provide copious amounts of natural light into your home, even on an overcast day, compared to polycarbonate or tiled roofs. Everest conservatory glass roofs have superior solar control eco clean glass, which will help to keep your conservatory cooler in the summer and make it easier to keep clean.

The Livinroof roofing system is constructed from insulated composite external panels and high-performance PU board insulation. These are strong and robust, and totally thermally efficient. Glazed panels can be inserted to replace almost any of the roofing panels to maximise light and produce a contemporary feel that is not easily achievable with other types of roofing systems.

Our tiled roof extensions are specially engineered to maximise the amount of glass, but still have the strength and stability built in to support a tiled roof.

What shape is a Victorian conservatory?

Victorian conservatories have an elegant, semi-octagonal appearance in an ornate gothic style usually featuring a roofline with crest and spike finials. The period style has a faceted front similar to a rounded bay window that offers maximum panoramic views of your garden to enhance your living space.

Do Victorian conservatories require planning permission?

You can add a Victorian conservatory to your home without planning permission, as long as it is within the boundaries of your property and doesn’t cover more than half of the total area. The conservatory can’t be higher than the eaves of your existing house and can only be a maximum of 4m high. In most cases, you will not need planning permission but to keep your new conservatory process as stress-free as possible, Everest will take care of all the necessary planning permission to ensure your new construction conforms to all UK building standards and requirements.

What's the difference between a Victorian and an Edwardian Conservatory

The main difference between a Victorian conservatory and an Edwardian conservatory is that the latter is square or rectangular with a flat front, whilst the Victorian conservatory has a rounded front and more detail giving you extra living space with a strong sense of grandeur.

The most defining traits of Victorian conservatories are a rounded multi-faceted front, a high-pitched roof and heavy ornamentation, with sharp edges and extravagant detailing found all over the ridges and roof.

An Edwardian conservatory is a classic style very similar to a Victorian conservatory but less ornate and with more subdued lines. Edwardian conservatories are an ideal choice because they maximise the amount of available floor space due to their bold, symmetry square or rectangular shape.
