Conservatories from Aspect Windows and Doors

Conservatories are by no means a new concept, but they are an incredibly popular choice when it comes to home improvement projects. Conservatories have been around since the seventeenth century, although then they were stone buildings that simply had more glass than a typical room. Today, many will refer to a solid sided room with a glass roof an artist's studio, rather than a conservatory.

It's safe to say that any type of conservatory back then would only be fitted to the property of the wealthier in society and it was only during the Victorian period that conservatories really started to gain popularity. This Victorian push of the conservatory is behind the reason why so many pavilions that have survived around the country, look like oversized conservatories.

The domestic property market had to wait until the 1970's to see the conservatory really start to become a popular addition to people's homes. At this time, the prices began to bring conservatories within the reach of more budgets and therefore more people started to have them fitted.

Why are conservatories so popular?

The main reason that conservatories have become such an attractive addition to our homes is predominantly down to the weather we get in the United Kingdom. Let's be honest, the climate and weather conditions tend to make this country a rather wet, chilly and miserable place for a large portion of the year. Couple that with the desire that people have to enjoy the great outdoors and you have the conservatory as the perfect halfway house. With a conservatory you can enjoy a far better view of your garden, and all the beauty the flora and fauna that frequents it can offer, without setting foot outside.

Best of all, the conservatory could allow people to enjoy as close to an outside space as possible that could be enjoyed all year round, regardless of the weather or the temperature outside.

Early conservatories were notoriously cold places during the winter months, but with the advent of glass technology and double glazing, the conservatory can be a warm and snug place to relax any time of the year. Now this newer technology goes both ways too. On very hot and sunny days, the earlier conservatories soon became as hot as an oven and would be unbearable to sit in for any length of time. Today however, with the many advances in the composition of roofing, glass materials, air conditioning and blinds, you can regulate the temperature in conservatories, even on the hottest days.

You could really bring the outside in and create a living space to enjoy all year round. Initially difficult to heat, there is a wide variety of options now which mean that you can enjoy this extra space whatever the temperature outside and when the summer months hit, blinds can shelter from the sunshine to stop the room getting too hot.

The benefits of owning a conservatory

One of the most cited reasons for buying a conservatory is the cost. Although not the cheapest of home improvement projects to undertake, compared to a traditional extension to your property, the cost pails into insignificance. Many people simply want extra living space, and a conservatory is the perfect option. A loft conversion will undoubtedly give you extra space, but with the possibility of planning permission being required, the lack of light owing to the type of windows required, the conservatory remains the front runner in the home improvement stakes.

The fact that you don't need planning permission is a major benefit of having a conservatory fitted, as well as being considerably cheaper than having an extension or loft conversion built, as well as being far less disruptive during the construction process.

Make a small room bigger with a conservatory

With a conservatory you can extend an existing room, effectively opening up your home and allowing you and your family to enjoy the extra space or furniture that would never have fitted into the original space. Maybe you want a piano, but limited space prevents this; maybe your dream is a huge tropical aquarium, but once more the limited space scuppers your plans. Well, by extending an existing room with a conservatory makes all these things and more besides achievable.

Added wellbeing with a conservatory

Bringing extra light into a room will lift the mood. Studies have shown time and again how light deprivation can negatively impact the mood of people. You can be as inventive as you want with uplighters, downlighters and spotlights, but the simple fact is that natural light in abundance is good the heart, soul and mind.

Working from home just got easier with a conservatory

With a new conservatory you could be creating an additional living room or dining room, but equally, you could be adding a much-needed office space.

If there is one thing that many of us have had to endure because of the covid pandemic, it's having to work from home. Initially, a lot of people hated it, the isolation, the lack of motivation, but today, with major savings on the cost of commuting, a good number are loving the freedom of working from home.

Having a conservatory simply makes this an even more pleasurable experience. Natural light in abundance means fewer headaches that were caused by the fluorescent lighting in the old office space and the comfort of being in your own home.

Whatever your reasons are for having a conservatory fitted, we are sure that you will be improving several aspects of your life by doing so.

A little about Amersham

Records date back to pre-Anglo-Saxon times, when Amersham was known as Agmodesham, and by the time that the Domesday Book was written around 1086 it had become known as Elmodesham. The Domesday entry states that Geoffrey de Mandeville holds Amersham. It answers for seven and a half hides. Land for 16 ploughs; in lordship 2 hides; 3 ploughs there. 14 villagers with 4 smallholders have 9 ploughs; a further 4 possible. 7 slaves; meadow for 16 ploughs; woodland 400 pigs. The total value is and was £9; before 1066 £16. Queen Edith held this manor.

Queen Edith was the wife of Edward the Confessor and sister of king Harold, and after her death in 1075 the land passed to William the Conqueror who granted it to Geoffrey de Mandeville.

In 1200 Geoffrey, Earl of Essex obtained a charter for Amersham allowing him to hold a Friday market and a fair on 7 and 8 September. In 1613, another charter was granted to Edward, Earl of Bedford, changing the market day to Tuesday, and establishing a statute fair on 19 September.

In 1521, seven Lollard dissenters were burned at the stake in Amersham. A memorial to them was built in 1931 and is inscribed with "In the shallow of depression at a spot 100 yards left of this monument seven Protestants, six men and one woman were burned to death at the stake. They died for the principles of religious liberty, for the right to read and interpret the Holy Scriptures and to worship God according to their consciences as revealed through Gods Holy Word". The Universal Magazine of September 1749 quotes that William Tylesworth was in fact burnt in 1506, and that Thomas Bernard and James Morden, were burnt about two years later.

Amersham Golf Club was founded in 1897. The club continued until the onset of the First World War.

The area of the town now known as Amersham on the Hill was referred to as Amersham Common until after the arrival of the Metropolitan Railway in 1892. After this date growth of the new area of the town gradually accelerated, with much work being done by the architect John Kennard. It is now known locally as Amersham-on-the-Hill, "Amersham town" or the "New Town". Locals often refer to it as "Top Amersham"

In 1931, the architect Amyas Connell completed the Grade II listed art deco house, "High and Over" in Amersham. It has been used as a film location.
