Hi, this structure does have a glass roof so that it can be used all year round.

Thank you so much - that sounds ideal. Do you have any clearer photos of how the glass roof looks?

Flat vs Pitched roof rear extension

If you're leaning more towards a pitched roof, perhaps you could extend your glazing right up into the gable to maximize the light coming in. I've attached a couple of images of projects where we have done just that. The first was necessary due to it being a listed building so we suggested an additional tiled roof would be more in keeping than, for example, a flat roof with a roof lantern. The second was on a lovely Victorian terrace in Coggeshall and again, we suggested echoing the original architecture with a pitched roof and glazed gable. If you would prefer an orangery style extension, despite some previous comments it is definitely possible to have a space that is a nice even temperature all year round, doesn't collect lots of flies and doesn't leak. We have built these for 30 years. All of our roof lanterns are available with solar controlled glass and motorised vents, plus the combination of masonry and glass (as opposed to a traditional conservatory which is mostly glass) provides a a more consistent room temperature anyway. We offer a 10 year guarantee on our joinery, glass and paint coatings (parts and labour) - that's how confident we are that it won't leak. We also use Accoya wood in our products which is incredibly durable, stable, moisture resistant, fungus proof, inedible to insects and thus incredibly low maintenance. It's definitely worth googling Accoya if you're considering going for a structure that incorporates timber joinery.

Hello Anita, Looks like you have your work cut out. We regularly build oak framed barns that are used for garden rooms. Our range of frames can be converted to any use, for instance bi-fold or fixed glazing panels can sit at the front of each bay. You can browse through some examples on our Houzz profile, or request a full colour brochure via our website. Its ok if you just want to browse, grab some ideas or inspiration, we are happy to help regardless of work as we love just talking about all things oak. Good luck with your project. Andrew

Initial purchase price, budget and final realistic selling price all dictate what is wise to do. Are there any others for sale/sold in the same road particularly those which have been altered that you can compare with. Having a chat with a few local agents will give a pretty good idea what people want in the area and are prepared to pay for. You may well find that the straight refurbishment is the most cost effective and that some of the nice to haves would only make it quicker/easier to sell rather than add to the selling price. Downstairs wcs are a nice to have, but if it's done at the expense of the layout then probably something to avoid. Generally as long as the exterior is up to scratch particularly roof/windows/guttering, the outside space tidy and the interior plain and clean with a reasonable kitchen and bathroom then it should always sell. If it's for own home then you can take a longer term view with regard to payback.

Unfortunately I don't have any close up photos showing the roof detail. The construction is very simple. The glass is in four sections with each piece spanning the width. They are secured to the spanning timbers.
