Orangeries
Bespoke Orangeries in Dorset & the South West
Timeless, year‑round living spaces by Village Conservatories
An orangery from Village Conservatories is a refined, permanent addition to your home – a light‑filled, beautifully detailed room designed for modern living. Based in Sherborne, we design and build high‑end, bespoke orangeries across Dorset and the South West.
What Is an Orangery?
An orangery is a solid, architecturally detailed extension with:
- Brick or stone walls and piers
- An insulated roof with one or more roof lanterns
- Large glazed doors and windows to connect house and garden
It feels more substantial and “built‑in” than a typical conservatory, making it ideal as a kitchen extension, dining room or garden‑facing living space.
Why Choose an Orangery?
- Seamless Architectural Fit
Designed to look as though it has always been part of your home:
- Matching brick, stone, render and roof finishes
- Proportions and detailing that respect the existing architecture
- Light‑Filled, Comfortable All Year
Roof lanterns and carefully placed glazing bring in natural light without the extremes of a fully glazed roof:
- High‑performance glazing
- Insulated roof, walls and floor
- Heating and ventilation designed for year‑round use
- A True Lifestyle Space
An orangery is more than extra space; it changes how you live:
- Open‑plan kitchens with generous dining areas
- Elegant entertaining spaces for family and friends
- Calm garden rooms for reading, work or quiet evenings
- Long‑Term Value
A bespoke orangery adds:
- High‑quality, usable living space
- Architectural character and kerb appeal
- Desirability in a competitive property market

Orangery or Conservatory?
Both bring light and connection to the garden, but:
- Choose an orangery if you want a solid, year‑round room that feels like part of the original house.
- Choose a conservatory if you prefer a lighter, more transparent garden room with extensive glazing.
We are happy to advise on which is most suitable for your property.
