A conservatory is a greenhouse. The name refers to its most common use which is to grow and display tropical plants through the winter in cold climates.

Colonel Mustard once killed somebody in the conservatory in a game of Clue.

If on a side of a house that gets southern exposure they work great. Maybe better than a green house. I think they are more sturdy and have more consistent temperatures because the house is a heat sink in winter and cooling in the summer.

Yeah front of house is facing south so cant really put the conservatory there as would be facing road?! Only possibility is east side gets reasonable amount of sun though....
