What is an edwardian conservatory?
Some people will commonly recognise the Edwardian design as a Georgian conservatory but however you label it; itโs the strong bold lines of the structure that make it instantly identifiable. Because of the square fronted corners present in the design there is an abundance of floor space into which you install all that essential furniture and it offers countless opportunities in terms of how the internal area can be utilised. If youโre set on buying a โclassicโ design then the Edwardian conservatory fits all the necessary criteria. It can even be adapted so that the roof ridge direction and pitch are modified appropriately for the residence into which itโs set to sit.
