Large Conservatories

Large Conservatory Styles to Suit Every Home

Not every conservatory style comes into its own at a larger scale — but several absolutely do. At The Little Conservatory Company, we offer a full range of designs perfectly suited to large conservatory builds:

• Edwardian — a clean rectangular footprint that maximises usable floor space and is ideal for defined furniture layouts
• Gable-ended — a tall, dramatic structure with a striking triangular front elevation that floods the interior with light
• P-shaped — combines a Victorian bay with a lean-to section, creating two distinct living zones in one generous structure
• T-shaped — ideal for larger gardens, offering separate spaces for different activities all under one roof
• Bespoke designs — if your vision goes beyond a standard style, we’ll design something unique around your home and lifestyle

Whether you’re drawn to the elegant charm of a Victorian or Edwardian design, the modern appeal of a P-shaped space, or something completely unique, we can create a custom large conservatory just for you.

Premium Materials for Lasting Performance

Every large conservatory we build is made to measure and finished to an exceptional standard. Choose from luxury hardwoods, contemporary aluminium, or high-performance uPVC — each offering distinct advantages in aesthetics, thermal performance, and longevity.

We offer three excellent options: timber provides traditional charm and natural beauty; aluminium offers contemporary styling with slim sightlines that maximise glazed area; while uPVC combines practical benefits with excellent insulation and low maintenance. We’ll help you choose the perfect material to complement your home and budget.

Choosing the Right Roof for a Large Conservatory

The roof is one of the most important decisions for any conservatory — and for large builds, it has an even greater impact on comfort, appearance, and year-round usability. We offer a range of roof systems to suit every style and budget:

• Ultraframe Classic (glass) — maximum natural light with a sleek, contemporary feel; pairs beautifully with solar-control glazing to manage heat gain
• Ultraroof (solid tiled) — superior thermal insulation with a traditional finish, making your large conservatory feel like a true room extension
• Livinroof — the best of both worlds; combines glazed sections with insulated solid panels for a perfect balance of light and warmth

Our team will talk you through every option and recommend the right system for your space, your home, and how you plan to use it.

Planning Permission for Large Conservatories

One of the most common questions we hear is: do I need planning permission for a large conservatory?

Most conservatories fall under Permitted Development rights — meaning no formal planning application is needed, provided the build meets specific size, height, and boundary conditions. However, larger conservatories are more likely to approach or exceed those limits, and properties within conservation areas, on listed buildings, or in designated zones across Cheltenham and the Cotswolds may have additional requirements.

We understand the intricacies of navigating building regulations and planning permission, especially within conservation areas, and we can offer expert guidance when liaising with local authorities. You won’t need to navigate any of it alone — our team handles planning considerations as part of our full service.
