Winchester Conservatory & Orangery Specialist
uPVC, Aluminium & Timber Conservatories Installed in Winchester
Brackenwood’s Winchester conservatory collection presents a wide range of options, from traditional to contemporary and modern. Classic conservatory designs remain highly popular in Winchester, with styles such as Edwardian, Gable, Victorian, Lean To, Georgian, and T-Shaped able to enrich any property.
For those wanting the wow factor of a really solid structure with unparalleled insulation, our orangery collection offers unrivalled choice and style.
What's the difference between a conservatory & orangery?
Although both are excellent options as an extension for your Winchester property, there are some important differences.
A classic conservatory is predominantly constructed of glass panels within a uPVC, aluminium or timber frame. Orangeries have a more solid construction, with brick/solid frame, heavy duty foundations and roof lantern.

Whether your property is large or small, old or new, we have the perfect conservatory options to create a bespoke design for your Winchester home.
- Full choice of conservatory window and frame materials, available in uPVC, aluminium and timber
- Wide range of further customisation - colour, glass type, window style, custom handles and more
- Range of sizes and styles to match your budget and house design, including brickwork and solid roofs
Orangeries are an embodiment of style and functionality. These structures are designed to bathe your Winchester living space in natural light while ensuring a sense of safety, warmth and cosiness.
An orangery has an underlying structure made with brick, stone or a solid equivalent, offering exceptional insulation and unrivalled comfort.
Foundations are more heavy duty, and doors are usually full-height wide-opening bi-folds. The roof will be higher than that of a conservatory, usually with roof lanterns matched to a solid ceiling.
Are you looking to replace your outdated polycarbonate or glass conservatory roof? Make your Winchester conservatory a space that you can enjoy all year round, with a conservatory solid roof replacement.
In the past, conservatory roofs were required to have a certain percentage of translucent area to be exempt from planning permission. However, this is no longer the case.
The most significant reason to replace a conservatory roof is its the ability to provide warmth during winter and a refreshing coolness in the summer. This smart upgrade can also lead to substantial energy bill savings.

What design should you choose for your Winchester conservatory?

Edwardian
Edwardian conservatories are a popular choice for homeowners in Alton and the surrounding areas. They are one of the traditional options and feature a symmetrical look and sleek architecture. They can suit a range of properties, including both period and contemporary homes. They can be installed with a range of double glazed windows and doors, such as French doors and Bifold doors.
Unlike decorative Victorian conservatories, they are often square or rectangular, which maximises floor space within the property.
Gable
A Gable conservatory from Brackenwood is the perfect choice for homeowners in Alton looking to add a timeless style to their property. With its pitched roof and front gable, this design adds traditional architecture and blends beautifully with both period and modern homes.
The high-pitched triangular roof creates a sense of space and openness. Large glazed panels in the gable end allow sunlight to flood the interior from multiple angles, making it a bright, welcoming living space. Customise your Gable conservatory with uPVC, aluminium, or timber frames and a choice of colours, glazing, and roofing options for a bespoke finish.
Lean-To
A Lean-To conservatory offers a sleek, modern solution for extending your Alton home. Designed with a sloped roof that ‘leans’ against the property, this style is ideal for maximising space in a simple, cost-effective way.
Perfect for both contemporary and traditional homes, Lean-To conservatories are especially suited to properties with low rooflines or limited space. The roofing system can be tailored to suit your home’s architecture, with the angles ideal for bungalows or small spaces. With clean lines and a minimalist look, a Lean-to is a practical choice for creating a bright, versatile living area that works all year round.
T-Shaped
A T-shaped conservatory is a great choice for homeowners in Alton seeking a spacious and versatile extension. This design combines elements of Victorian, Edwardian, or Gable styles to create a distinctive ‘T’ layout when viewed from above, making it ideal for larger properties.
A T-shaped conservatory is perfect for multiple purposes, such as a bright dining area and a relaxing lounge. This also adds a focal point to your home, while the expansive glazing floods both areas with natural light. Customise your T-shaped conservatory with double glazed windows and a choice of roof and glazing options for a personalised design.
Victorian
A Victorian conservatory is a timeless addition to any Winchester home, with intricate detailing to reflect the charm of Victorian-era architecture. Its bay-fronted design creates a semi-circular shape, adding character while enhancing the sense of space and light inside.
Available in three or five-facet layouts, the multi-angled front provides panoramic views of your garden and surroundings. This classic style suits both period properties and modern homes, offering a light-filled space perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying year-round.

uPVC
For many homeowners in Winchester, uPVC windows are a popular choice thanks to their affordability and reliable performance. This weather-resistant material is designed to withstand the elements with minimal upkeep – a quick wipe down with soapy water is all it takes to keep it looking its best.
uPVC is highly versatile, complementing both modern and traditional properties. While it may not have the same long-term durability as aluminium, it offers an excellent balance of value and functionality. For a cost-effective, low-maintenance solution that enhances your home’s energy efficiency and security, uPVC remains a smart option.
Aluminium
Combining strength, style, and sustainability, aluminium frames are an excellent choice for homeowners in Winchester seeking an upgrade. Their slim yet strong frames allow for larger panes of glass, maximising natural light and creating uninterrupted views of your surroundings.
Aluminium is durable and resistant to warping, meaning these frames deliver exceptional performance with minimal maintenance. As a fully recyclable material, it is a sustainable material. With customisation options – from colours and finishes to hardware styles – aluminium frames offer a sleek, contemporary aesthetic alongside outstanding security and energy efficiency.
Wood
wood was originally the traditional choice for homes across Winchester. Wood is a natural insulator, offering excellent thermal performance thanks to its low heat conductivity. It’s also a renewable material – ideal for homeowners seeking a sustainable option.
In conservation areas or listed properties around Winchester, timber windows and frames are often a requirement to maintain heritage aesthetics. That said, modern uPVC and aluminium alternatives can now replicate the classic timber appearance with advanced finishes and detailing, providing a traditional look with modern benefits like reduced maintenance and improved durability.
