Garage conversions

[Michael Morris]

from all this Mike, it sounds to me as if you might be better off demolishing the thing and building an extension to the house.
It may end up bigger better and easier lol

Yeah it would. If I was younger and richer then that would be the best option. At this stage of my life I’m looking to wind down to the end of my mortgage not adding to it. Other houses around us have all had extensions or conversions. If we extended the garage backwards it would match up an extension on next doors.

Knocking it down and building a new stand alone building could be an option. I think I need a local builder to give me an idea. Lots of houses in the area have been improved.

An interesting set of responses. Thanks.

Well our initial thoughts was to make an independent living space for our sons to use as a stepping stone. It could also be a guest area for when visitors come, If it was not being used by the boys at that time.

You could salvage the bricks from the existing, (if it is brick) and use them on the extension lol. I know a good honest bricklayer.
