Don't know what to do with old conservatory

Ok, worse than I thought! 

Is the dwarf wall ok - solid and no damp coming through? Is it solid or cavity, do you know? It's a strange construction - looks like a couple or rows of blacks with a strange smooth finish, and the upper section seems to have been over-boarded with some sheet material before being given a textured render - to match the inside!

I doubt the timber frames are worth repairing - at some point factor in replacing everything from that dwarf wall upwards - that's provided the wall part is actually ok in itself...

@Jeepers_Creepers The dwarf wall is in good condition, just everything above it that's the issue. Not sure if solid or cavity, the survey doesn't specify. It's an odd old thing!

Measure the thickness of the wall. Around 100mm wide, it will be a single brick (or block), 215mm, double brick/block. 250mm or more, you'll have a cavity wall.

The photos show a conservatory not as bad as you have described.  It looks like it has not been heated for a while with signs of  some dampness due to either condensation or slight water penetration or both.  The window frames seem like they have many years in them.    I would carry out some simple, much overdue, maintenance and make sure that there is plenty of ventilation and some heating in the conservatory.  I would consider getting a dehumidifier and run it with all windows closed for two or three  days a week as well.
