Restored Georgian orangery at Ingestre with tall sash windows, glazed roof and a formal box parterre


The Orangery at Ingestre is a restored Georgian orangery on the Ingestre estate in Staffordshire. It stands today as both a historic landmark and a community space.


A showcase of Georgian style

The building has a symmetrical stone front with tall windows and a glazed roof, so natural light reaches the whole length of the room. Its classical detailing gives it an understated grandeur that continues to impress visitors.

A harmonious setting

Reached by an ornamental walk from the hall, the orangery is the focal point of its part of the grounds. It shows how an orangery extension can be both a feature of the garden and a functional room.

Inspiration for modern builds

For contemporary homes, the same principles of proportion, symmetry and views, seen across the famous orangeries in the UK, create a space that feels both refined and welcoming.
