What Is a Modern Orangery?
Today, orangeries are similar to conservatories but feature more brickwork and often a glazed roof lantern. Modern orangeries tend to be used to create large, bright open-plan spaces like a bigger living room or a spacious kitchen-diner.The main difference with a conservatory is in the construction of its roof — a conservatory will have more than 75% of its roof glazed, while an orangery will have less than 75% glazed.This solid-yet-light structure is what gives a modern orangery its distinctive character in Plymouth: the permanence of a true home extension, combined with the openness and natural light of a glazed room.
A modern orangery in Plymouth is a more contemporary take on the traditional orangery. It features clean lines and a minimalist design, with large windows and a flat or pitched roof. Modern orangeries are perfect for homeowners who want a bright and airy living space that blends seamlessly with the existing architecture of their home.

Modern Orangery Features
Full-Height Windows & Bifold Doors
Offering an eye-catching twist on the traditional orangery, the popular modern orangery is a fantastic way to bring flair to your property. Bi-folding doors and full-height windows create a stylish, bright and spacious place to relax.
Sliding bifold doors — usually stacking both sides or in a 2/2 or 3/3 configuration — are also popular for modern orangeries as they increase the available space and allow even more light to enter the space.
French doors are equally popular for a cleaner, more classic-contemporary finish.
Roof Lanterns & Interior Lighting
Open up your home with extra living space, flooded with natural light through bespoke roof lanterns mounted atop your orangery.
In terms of lighting, modern-themed home extensions often include spotlighting and suspended roof lantern lighting — chandelier style or spotlights — to create the perfect atmosphere at any time of day.
Colour & Finish Options
Modern properties are often well-lit, bright, and use a combination of beige and cream with hints of black or brown throughout.
Our colour matching service allows you to coordinate your orangery frame precisely with your property’s existing palette — from soft neutral tones to bold contemporary finishes. If you live in a period property or country-style home, we’re happy to adjust the modern style to incorporate traditional elements that blend well with your property.
Some of the key features include:
- Bespoke Orangery Shape (to fit specific criteria)
- Custom Roof Lantern Styles

- Opening Roof Lantern Windows
- Bespoke Door Options (Patio / French or Bifold Doors)

Lean-to Modern Orangery — ideal for properties with limited depth or flat roof aesthetics
Gable-End Modern Orangery — a striking front-facing glazed gable for maximum impact
Wraparound Modern Orangery — extending across two sides of a property for a true open-plan transformation
P-Shaped / L-Shaped Orangery — connecting two areas or creating a large multi-room extension
The orangery itself is a bespoke structure that can be designed to fit onto a property, even if space is limited.
Every shape is fully manufactured to your exact measurements at our Buckinghamshire factory.
Planning Permission for a Modern Orangery in Plymouth
For planning permission purposes, orangeries are considered as single-storey extensions. Permitted development rights offer a homeowner a lot of possibilities to extend their property without the need for a full planning application. The rights for single-storey extensions are surprisingly generous and allow for a reasonably sized extension — therefore, orangeries don’t need planning permission if they’re built within the permitted development guidelines.
At Orangeries UK, we’ve guided countless homeowners through the planning permission process over the past decade — whether your dream orangery requires formal approval or falls under permitted development rights.
Our team will advise you clearly from the outset so you can proceed with confidence.
