For a growing number of buyers, the garage is no longer an afterthought. It is a showroom, a workshop and, increasingly, a reason to choose one house over another.
Think like a gallery, build like a workshop
The best collector garages borrow from both worlds. Generous ceiling heights make room for lifts and good lighting, while a seamless, durable floor and plenty of storage keep the space working hard. Even a modest double garage can feel special with careful planning.
- Climate control to protect paint, leather and metal
- Even, glare-free lighting and plenty of sockets
- A resin or tiled floor that is easy to clean
- Secure, discreet access and a good drive
A garage worth showing off tells a buyer something about how the rest of the house has been cared for.
Does it add value?
In the right setting, yes. Buyers at the upper end of the market often ask about parking before they ask about the kitchen. A well-planned garage adds appeal without compromising the rest of the home, and it photographs beautifully too.
