Orangery in Heacham, Norfolk, completed!

Our Client was having quotes for a conservatory to extend their 1910 Semi-detached house by the sea in beautiful Heacham, North Norfolk.
They were looking for an extra room to open up into the garden and a place to relax and dine in.
I proposed to take the project further by opening up the house wall and extending the kitchen/ breakfast room into the new building, creating one large room instead of 3 small ones.
Due to building regulation requirements, we had to propose a building that was more 'structural' than just a conservatory as we had to prove the new design would improve the CO2 emissions for the whole property in line with Doc' L Building reg's- Conservation of fuel and power.

The proposed design was an orangery with a lantern roof, complementing the design and scale of the original house. The build time from start to finish was 7 weeks and it only cost a little more than a conservatory.

Project progressing in Hingham, Norfolk

This Morgan Bishop Orangery on a Grade II Star rated Georgian house is progressing well.

Several design concepts were explored with the client throughout 2010 and with the aid of 3D CAD and CGI visualisations the final design was proposd to the council and English Heritage. Full approval was granted by both in Spring 2011.
