Garage with apartment above in South Devon

This is a one and a half storey, three bay oak frame with garaging and storage below, and a comfortable one room apartment over.  The softwood joists and rafters are concealed giving the apartment a cleaner more contemporary finish.

The design includes an external staircase and a balcony on the gable end, adding more space in the apartment.  It also adds interest and a gives the whole a less 'garagey' feel.
