What this means for your conversion
- —Garages on older villa plots tend to be detached and larger than a typical post-war single garage, which suits annexe or studio conversions well.
- —Heritage considerations apply more often here than in newer suburbs — check whether a property is listed or in a conservation area before altering the garage's external appearance.
- —Tenement properties in the area typically have no private garage to convert at all.
