If you love relaxing in the sun, and want to appreciate it throughout the year, even in winter, then a conservatory would fit your lifestyle and is worth considering. The glazing percentage that makes a conservatory exempt from Building Regulations will mean that even with an obscure roof, the majority of the space will be windows that will allow sunlight in, no matter the direction of your garden.
Space
Most people consider buying a conservatory to add extra space indoors and this form of extension certainly achieves that. Even compact conservatory designs such as a lean-to, perfect for bungalows and properties with a low-pitched roof, offer a generous volume of floor space.
Garden views
Conservatories primarily consist of glass, so you get a high level of transparency, perfect if you have a stunning garden to look out on. You will feel no closer to your garden from the indoors as you do from a conservatory. Try and consider creating a connection from the conservatory to the garden with a set of bifolding, French or patio doors.
Light
Conservatories are the perfect balance of indoors and outdoors, maximising natural light opportunities in your home. Natural light has a host of benefits both to your home and your personal wellbeing.
Exposure to the sun can help boost your body’s vitamin D, which can help improve your mood and sleep, making a conservatory a great addition to your home.
Flexible usage
How you use your conservatory is completely up to you. Some like to use it as a dining area where friends and family come together for dinner, some use it as a day room to relax, or maybe a playroom for the kids, whilst others may turn into an office space so that they can keep on top of their work without having to make the usual commute.
Added value
Research has found that a conservatory will usually add at least 7% onto the resale value of a property, and considerably more in some circumstances. Keep that in mind for the future as you may get bored with your home and have an urge to move house. When selling, a conservatory will easily add value onto the sale price, making it easy to reimburse the money you spent on it.
Save money
Modern conservatories keep energy bills lower, but they can also reduce your carbon footprint. With energy efficient windows and doors, not only will your home feel warmer but you can also keep in mind that you are doing your bit for the environment.
A conservatory can be turned into more than just an extra space for your home as we have seen above, it can be viewed as a long-term investment that can transform how your home works.
