Initially this is the building that was positioned at the back of this property
| |
|
|
|
Obviously it was not being used to its full potential
| |
|
Once the existing building was cleared away, the footings were dug and the base was laid
|
|
|
|
A dwarf wall was built around the base
|
|
The dwarf wall was constructed out of breeze blocks
|
|
Generally the dwarf wall is three breeze blocks high but sometimes it can be just the two blocks high
|
|
Once the breeze block wall has been finished then a Cornish stone wall is built leaving a cavity
|
|
This looks good from the outside, prevents from damp and makes it easier to plaster the inside for a smooth finish
|
|
The Cornish stone work is tied onto the breeze block work so that they can never come apart
|
|
Finally the gap between the two walls has slates over the top to stop any ingress of water and for decorative purposes
|
|
This just shows all of the wall finished
|
|
The finished conservatory
|
|
There are numerous choices for windows and doors
|
|
More pleasing on the eye than the initial structure
|
|
As you can see the conservatory has extended the living accomodation a great deal
|
|
The overall appearance of the conservatory blends in with the house so that it appears that it has been there for a long time
|
|
Another view showing how the conservatory blends in
|
|
The big windows allow a lot of light to enter the conservatory
|
|
Inside you can see how the old exterior wall can be painted to look like an internal wall
|
|
A light and airy room
|
|
The extra space can be quite an advantage
|
|
We have a choice of anti glare sheets that will stop 85% of the suns heat so that the room will not become unbearably hot
|
|
A relaxed area to sit and admire the garden in comfort if the weather is not quite warm enough to sit outside
|
|
Even in the Winter the conservatory looks warm and inviting
