Have a Bungalow? Think You Can’t Have a Conservatory? Think Again!

Have a Bungalow? Think You Can’t have a conservatory? think again!

If you own a bungalow and dream of a conservatory, you may think it’s hard or even impossible to achieve your ideal design. Low rooflines, limited height, awkward joins… they can all make the idea seem out of reach.

But good news: we solve these challenges every day. With the right design, you can add a stunning, light-filled conservatory to your bungalow. It will enhance your space and blend perfectly with your home.

Here’s how we make it happen:

1. Specialist Roof Designs for Bungalows

The biggest challenge is often the roof connection. Bungalows have a lower eaves height compared to two-storey houses. This means a standard conservatory roof sometimes won’t fit.

…what is eaves height?

the part of a roof that meets or overhangs the walls of a building.

We overcome this by using specialist options like:

• Hipped back roofs – Designed to fit seamlessly beneath your existing bungalow roof.
• Box gutters – To create a perfect join between the house and the new conservatory
• Low-pitch or shallow roofs – Especially designed for single-storey properties

This keeps the structure solid, watertight, and looking like a natural extension of your home—not an afterthought.

2. Flexible Conservatory Styles

Even with height limitations, you still have plenty of design options. Popular styles for bungalows include:

• Lean-to conservatories – Clean, simple, and perfect for low eaves
• Edwardian conservatories – With some roof modifications for extra headroom and usable floor space
• Orangery-style extensions – Combining solid and glass roofs for a “real room” feel

You can tailor each design to fit your space, your needs, and your personal style.

3. Glazing and Insulation Upgrades

Adding a conservatory to a bungalow isn’t just about fitting it in—it’s about making it usable year-round. We use advanced glazing and insulated walls. This keeps your space warm in winter, cool in summer, and saves energy year-round.

Think of it less like an “extra” room—and more like a natural extension of your living space.

4. Planning Permission? We’ll Guide You

Due to height and boundary rules some projects need planning permission. Especially if you are close to a neighbour. But don’t worry—we handle all that for you.

We will advise you on whether your project falls under Permitted Development (meaning no formal permission is needed) or whether we should apply for smooth approval on your behalf.

No stress, no guesswork.

5. A Conservatory That Adds Value and Lifestyle

A well-designed conservatory can significantly enhance the value of your bungalow. It improves your home’s worth and enhances your quality of life. It’s the perfect space for:

• Morning coffee overlooking the garden
• A bright home office
• A hobby room filled with light
• A relaxing lounge space for family and friends

It’s not about compromise. It’s about creating the home you’ve always wanted—just tailored to your bungalow.
