Whether or not a property has a garage could make a huge difference to a sale price. But the added value doesnt just come in mortgage leverage. These days garages aren't just a spot to park a car they are gyms, workspaces, (wo)man caves and more.

The benefit of adding a garage as a major house extension means it is worthwhile to look at the whole footprint of the house and see what's needed.  In this case a large master suite with ensuite and built in robes, a grand hallway entry and an open plan office space modernised and created utility for the whole family.

The other benefit of starting with the idea of a garage extension is that it will help you reclaim, often unutilised space at the front of the existing home.
