A Victorian Conservatory has a multi-pitched roof with a ridge running back to the house wall. If there is little height available against the house, the roof can be 'hipped back' (i.e. slope back down to a concealed gutter against the house wall).
There are several options for the construction of the Victorian bow front of your conservatory. The most common styles are either a three-facet or a five-facet bow, using pre-set angles. Often a double facet can be included in the front to provide extra width. A Victorian style of conservatory creates a softer, rounded appearance that can suit most properties.
