Here in the East Midlands, we’re truly fortunate to have such stunning countryside on our doorstep. Whether it’s the glorious Peak District National Park, the historic Sherwood Forest, the spectacular Charnwood Forest or tranquil Rutland, the scenery around us is a joy to behold.
If you’re lucky enough to live in rural countryside across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire or Leicestershire, you really want to make the most of the landscape which surrounds your home. Through the right home improvement project, you can truly bring the countryside into your home, by allowing natural light to shine through and your family to gaze out at all that Mother Nature has to offer. A modern conservatory is undoubtedly the best way to achieve this blending of your home with the outdoors and is a hugely-popular option for homeowners living in rural East Midlands areas.
Here at KLG Rutland, we have been helping homeowners transform their house, cottage or bungalow with high-quality, aesthetically-pleasing conservatories for many decades. Our wonderful team can design, manufacture and install a bespoke conservatory in your home that will transform your experience of the countryside that surrounds us.
Why You Should Add A Conservatory To Your Rural Home
To help you decide whether or not a conservatory is the right home improvement project for you, we have highlighted five of the biggest reasons why KLG Rutland customers have chosen a conservatory for their rural homes. Of course, it’s always a personal choice and you can always get in touch with our team if you need any further advice or information.
Panoramic Views Of The Natural World
Adding a conservatory to your home allows you to take full advantage of the natural beauty around your home. Whether it’s the rolling hills, vibrant plants and flowers or the sight of newborn lambs in spring, you will be able to gaze out and enjoy them from your new conservatory. If you’re a keen gardener with a green thumb, you’ll also be able to enjoy your own garden more all year-round and watch any wildlife that enters your property. The best thing about it is that you’ll still be indoors, shielded from any inclement weather but still feeling like you’re in the natural world.
Indoor – Outdoor Living
Indoor-outdoor living is a modern trend that homeowners are desperate to enjoy for themselves. The concept stems from the idea of a seamless transition between the inside of a home, and the outside. This is often achieved through patio doors or, better still, a conservatory. Homeowners are able to enjoy their outdoor space for more of the year and have an expanded entertaining space for hosting friends and family.
Boost Your Natural Light
Natural light is good for the soul. Having an abundance of natural light is proven to improve mental wellbeing and make a space look bigger and brighter. A glazed conservatory is a great way to allow more sunshine into your home and reduce the need for artificial light. What’s more, there is much less light pollution in the countryside, so you’ll be able to gaze up at the stars at night through your glazed roof, or through skylights included in a tiled hybrid conservatory roof.
Boost Property Value
Conservatories can add tangible property value to your home. Research we have collated shows that the figure can be anywhere from 5-10% in terms of the added value of a conservatory, which is estimated to be up to £24,000 when compared to average house prices in the East Midlands. While these figures are estimates, there’s no doubt that conservatories are a real selling factor that buyers crave, especially in the countryside where extra living space, more natural light and a view outdoors are all desired.
A New Versatile Living Space
Another big benefit of a conservatory you’ll find is that it can be used for so many different things. Often, conservatories become a new lounge or dining room which open up more space in the rest of the home. Some homeowners also choose to use their conservatory as a home office in the working-from-home world, while more creative homeowners see a space for painting, reading and writing. Whatever your intended use for your conservatory, it can be a real sanctuary from modern life.
Here at KLG Rutland, we can design a conservatory that’s bespoke to you and your lovely home. Whether it’s a traditional look like an Edwardian, Victorian or gable conservatory, a modern style like lean-to, tiled roof conservatories and orangeries, or even a combination of them all, we’re here to help you find your dream living space.
