Orangeries in Wiltshire

Covering Wiltshire

We cover Wiltshire, including Swindon, Salisbury, Trowbridge and Chippenham, and the towns around them.

Homes in the South West

The South West mixes stone and render cottages, Victorian terraces in the larger towns and modern estates, and many historic centres are conservation areas where materials and roof shapes are closely controlled.

What is 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.

Do you need permission for an orangery in Wiltshire?

English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.

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. Deeper extensions, up to 6 m or 8 m, need prior approval from the council first.

What can affect an orangery?

Timber-look aluminium or timber frames suit period houses.
Heating should be part of the house system, not a plug-in heater.
