What this means for your conversion
- —A double garage here is a strong candidate for either a full granny annexe or splitting into two separate uses — see our guide on splitting a double garage for the detail.
- —Larger plots generally mean driveway parking is already independent of the garage.
- —The area's family housing profile also supports strong demand for home offices and gyms.
