Orangeries 'inject 18th-century glamour'
Brits looking to add a touch of 18th and 19th-century glamour to their homes could consider building an extension with a roof light and folding sliding doors to create an orangery effect.
Once the domain of fashionable rich folk, orangeries were used as an alternative to a glass house as living rooms, dining rooms or places to grow more exotic plants and trees.
The structures were originally separate from the home, but are now more commonly attached to the main building and very rarely used to grow orange trees.
Apropos creates bespoke versions that are designed to complement the look and feel of the house and can be built as either stand-alone structures or as stylish glazed extensions to the property.
Each unit provided is formed of the highest-grade aluminium and glazing to guarantee quality and help add both style and value to the home.
Buyers can choose different types of glass, including tinted, self-cleaning and Priva-lite, which allows them to choose between clear and frosted glass by flicking a switch.
In other news, independent mortgage firm John Charcol has noted that recent Council of Mortgage Lenders figures show another small drop in lending this year, which may encourage more Brits to make the best of what they have, rather than moving house.
