Conservatory.

Primary question · Can a conservatory ever be comfortable year-round?

Glazed walls and roof create enormous solar gain in summer and equally enormous heat loss in winter. Often unusable for half the year; but it doesn't have to be.

The five questions
Is this right for me?

If the conservatory is the room you keep noticing, this is the right entry point.

What will it cost?

Single-room upgrades typically £200–£3,500 depending on what's actually wrong.

Advantages
  • Unusable in mid-summer
  • Unusable in mid-winter
Trade-offs
  • One-room upgrades rarely fix whole-house problems
