A Heritage Home’s Perfect Match: Sympathetic Victorian Style Conservatory
When we needed more space in our Victorian terrace, we chose a Victorian style conservatory that looks like it's always been there. Inspired by original Victorian greenhouse designs, our new heritage conservatory blends slim metal frames with discreet modern comforts. "It's transformed how we live," says homeowner Sarah. "We get sunlight all year without spoiling our home's character." The addition increased our property value by 15% and even won approval from local heritage experts. "The best part? No one believes it's new - they all think we restored an original feature."
How the Harrisons added space without spoiling their heritage home’s charm
The Problem: More Room, Same Character
The Harrisons loved their 1890s Victorian house in Bath – until their twin boys turned five. “We needed space where the kids could play,” says mum Emily, “but every modern extension we saw looked wrong.”
They needed: ✔ Extra living area . ✔ Something matching their home’s style . ✔ No messy planning permission fights. ✔ A space they could use all year.
The Solution: A Proper Victorian Style Conservatory
After talking to specialists, they chose a heritage conservatory inspired by original Victorian greenhouse designs. The key features:
-
Traditional look: Curved glass roof and slim metal frames just like the originals
-
Hidden modern bits: Double glazing you can’t see and quiet underfloor heating
-
Perfect fit: Brickwork that matches the house exactly
-
Easy living: Doors that open wide to the garden in summer
“It’s not a copy,” explains builder Tom Wilkins. “We studied old Victorian greenhouse plans to get the details right.”
How Life Changed
Since the conservatory was finished: • The boys have a bright play area (that’s easy to clean) • The family eats breakfast there every day • They use it even in winter – it’s properly warm • The house value went up by £75,000 (their estate agent’s estimate)
What the Family Says
“It’s like the house always had this bit missing. The kids call it ‘the sunny room’ and fight over who gets to open the windows in the morning. Best of all, none of our Victorian-loving neighbors complained – several asked for our builder’s number!” – Emily Harrison

Looks right: No one can tell it’s new
-
Works hard: From playroom to dinner party space
