Traditional Appearance
The Edwardian is the quintessential conservatory for those wanting to enhance the traditional aspects of their property. No mere extension, this style will blend beautifully with existing brickwork.
As its name suggests, the Edwardian conservatory draws upon classical Edwardian architecture.
Ideal for period homes, this style offers a classic and authentic look. Perfect for Edwardian style homes and furnishings.
However, today’s modern UPVC conservatory is also designed for contemporary homes.
The Edwardian will enhance aesthetics and breathe life back into any property in need of a ‘face lift.’
Edwardian Conservatory Styles
The Edwardian conservatory comes in a range of different build types.
The style you choose will be dependent on the size and space you have available. Your trusted conservatory company will be able to recommend the best style for your property and specifications.
- Standard Fully Glazed
- Large Fully Glazed
- Standard Dwarf Wall
- Large Dwarf Wall
- P-Shaped Fully Glazed
- P-Shaped Dwarf Wall
The Edwardian’s use of plain glass walls and simple roof structure make it a popular design for those after a ‘clean’ look.
The Edwardian conservatory can be designed with dwarf walls, or raised panels.
French doors and patio doors are also a common occurrence on traditional style conservatories; however single door options are also available.
Choose from a range of colour finishes including White and classic woodgrain finishes such as Oak and Mahogany.
Bright & Beautiful: The Edwardian Conservatory Roof
The Edwardian conservatory features a generous sloping pitched roof that provides a wonderful vaulted effect.
The vaulted effect captures and enhances natural light, illuminating your conservatory.
The front part of the roof is also pitched which is known as a ‘hipped front.’
The ridge is apex to the roof, making it similar to a roof of a typical house.
The roof itself can be adjusted to fit any type of property so if you have a house with height restrictions such as a bungalow, you can still benefit from an Edwardian conservatory.
For roofing options, polycarbonate is the standard fit for many conservatories, but glazed glass roofs bring in much more natural light, allow for more ventilation and creates a far more contemporary feel to the space.
However, solid roofs are also a great way of giving your conservatory space a room-like feel that makes it seem like a natural continuation of your property rather than an afterthought addition.

Do You Need Planning Permission for an Edwardian Conservatory?
More often than not, a conservatory does NOT require any planning permission in order to be built. This is because of recent changes to regulations now deeming conservatories to be ‘permitted development’.
However, there are still certain regulations that are in place that can dictate whether or not you have to get planning permission for your conservatory extension, including dimensions.
This includes if your conservatory takes up more than 50% of the land surrounding your original property.*
(*What counts as ‘original property’ can vary depending on the age of the house, and whether or not it stood as of 1st July 1948. Please read the planning regulations for more details.)
For more information on planning permission and conservatory regulations, you can read more about it on the government’s Planning Portal.
