An extension can leave the remaining rooms very dark without any natural light, a conservatory should be less of an issue.
My problem with conservatories is they often have relatively poor insulation and can be too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. If there aren't doors to the rest of the house then those rooms can suffer too. I assume they are much cheaper to build though.

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.
