Victorian conservatories are one of the most popular styles of conservatory in England, and the Victorian style compliments most types of property. Victorian conservatories traditionally have three or five facets to their front elevation plus ornate detailing along the ridge of the apex roof, although the size of detailing can be varied depending on your taste.
Edwardian conservatories are similar in style to the Victorian and also feature an apex roof. However, the main difference between the two, is that Edwardian conservatories are square or rectangular on plan, so they have a flat front (compared to the Victorian curved angled front).
The Gable (or Gable-End) conservatory style feature a square floor plan but with a vertical front roof. This combination provides a gable conservatory with a feeling of extra space and presence, helping them to work better with older larger properties.
P shaped conservatories are so called because they have a P shaped plan with an apex roof. P shaped conservatories are often called Combination conservatories because they allow you to combine two different styles of conservatory, such as an Edwardian and a Lean To. It is also possible to adapt an existing style into different basic layouts, including a T-shape or a B-shape.
Lantern Conservatories are generally larger in size, and are particularly popular on period style properties. Lantern conservatories are characterised by having a second layer of vertical windows extending from the roof, giving an extra height and presence to the conservatory.
