Kitchen diner very dark. How do i allow more light in?

Hi everyone
I am in a bit of a dilemma here.

I have a bought a house where the Kitchen Diner is very dark. Attached some images below however the pictures attached make the place seem a lot brighter than it actually is. The kitchen seems to be dark because of the conservatory attached to the kitchen extension and its polycarbonate roof. I have installed a sky light in the kitchen extension however it hasn't helped much.

I was thinking of removing the conservatory but was worried it will devalue the property.

The conservatory itself needs a need roof, some new double glazing and the french doors repairing, so quite a big investment and not sure if doing all that work would be worth it for the house value in the end.

Anyone had a similar situation and managed to sort it. Or any suggestions would be greatly appreciated it.

I think its a 4 by 3. I'm not sure i need the conservatory but haven't moved in yet and its been 2 years so hard to say. But thanks for the suggestions, will try some good lighting.

id get rid of the conservatory and extend into the garden if it’s big enough abs our huge sliding doors in (cheaper and more convenient than bifold).

Youd get so much more light in.

no point remodelling much until you have the money to do this. I’d save up for this and wait.

Wow that looks incredible, thanks for suggestions, will look into sliding doors.
