Homes in the North West

The North West has long rows of Victorian terraced houses in its towns and cities, alongside inter-war semis and post-war estates, so rear extensions, dormer lofts and kitchen extensions are common projects.

What do you get with an orangery?

An orangery is a single-storey extension with brick piers or walls, large windows and a glazed lantern set into a solid, insulated roof. It sits between a conservatory and a full extension: lighter than an extension, warmer and more solid than a conservatory.

How much does an orangery cost in Newton-le-Willows?

What orangeries typically cost. These are guide ranges; the written quote for your house replaces them.

Orangeries	Guide price incl. VAT

High specification	£4,100 to £4,800 per m²

Do you need permission for an orangery in Newton-le-Willows?

Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies.

In England a single-storey rear extension can often go ahead under permitted development: up to 3 m deep on an attached house or 4 m on a detached one, no higher than 4 m, with eaves no higher than 3 m within 2 m of a boundary.

What should I think about before starting?

An orangery open to the house needs to meet energy rules, which limits the proportion of glazing.
Solar-control glass in the lantern stops summer overheating.
