The long answer is it depends.
A nice, well designed and fitted conservatory is a nice feature.
Most of the time (especially RTB ex council) they were sold to people who'd bought double glazing. They can often be cold as fuck in winter, nut drippingly hot in summer, leaky, and damp traps. They ironically can reduce light into the adjoining room.
You should be able to judge for yourself when viewing whether it's a useful addition or just a mouldy heap of shit.

can someone explain what the benefits of a conservatory over an extension are? Seeing a few houses that we like that have conservatories and I'm not sure whether it should be thought of as feature or another thing to think about redoing/knocking down, if we have the money after the buying the house itself.
