Absolutely stunning your place let alone the opportunity for you to have this amazing barn turn into a absolute dream garage but I would go with a triple & put the kitchen upstairs as you have shed loads of room!! As what an opportunity to have a triple rather than a double!!😬 Good luck whatever you decide but triple all the way for me Pete & thanks for the tour!!👌🏻👍🏻

Couldn’t agree more with you guys, kitchen upstairs every time.

Definitely put the kitchenette, etc, upstairs with toilet understairs, then you've got a triple garage, which is priceless as a car nut.

With the office and bathroom upstairs, think about putting the kitchenette up there, too. Then you're not up and down the stairs every time you and visitors fancy a cuppa, and it gives you more vehicle storage/orientation options. If you're desperate for a downstairs sink and tool store, there'll still be room for both under the stairs. It’s going to be a great project. Thanks for sharing your journey

You have an enviable spot there. Countryside, but with immediate neighbours giving a classy spacious suburban feel. Stone and timberwork. Farmland on your (back) doorstep. I'll miss the rustic feel to it, but it's your garage, not mine!

Did exactly this with my barn about a year ago….kitted it out with a lift and workshop for my historic rally car. Great project and fantastic addition to have 👍

Hi Ped I can appreciate the excitement on the start of the build. We carried out a not dissimilar project at our last house 9yrs ago. I would join others in saying 3 Bay garage on ground floor with all other facilities on 1st floor. Never regretted that decision on our project as our "fleet" went up to 5 in total! Wish you luck and look forward to plenty of content on progress to completion.

Love this as I’ve got to redo my 2 cars garage in the Cotswolds. Not easy with grade 2 listed buildings!

I would advise planning to put in plenty of network cabling now (CAT6), the cost and ease to do it early makes life so much easier. From many years of experience always run 2 CAT cables to every place you think you might need them. Run everything back to a small patch panel and allow for PC, Diagnostic equipment, TV, phones and more importantly security camera locations etc. Finally allow a underground duct heading back to the house if you should need to push anything through at at later stage, as you wont want to pull up the nice floor. Good luck with the build! 😀

Irrespective of many of us thinking we know better, I am genuinely pleased for you. A dream coming true, and no matter what, it's going to be fantastic when it's all finished.

Being a builder myself I can see this is not going to be cheap, especially with the barn being built into the banking (lots of tanking etc) and also because it’s in the national park and will have to be in keeping, which is what I’m sure you want. Will be amazing I’m sure. PS them timbers you pointed at are roof trusses and those particular ones are king trusses, Google roof trusses design if your interested 😀

Just what I was thinking 👍 I’m not a builder but having a lean to at the back of our house that’s built into a slope I’m aware good planning is a must to prevent damp problems. Am sure Pete and his architect have considered this but it’s a good point to raise.

I also agree with others that it would be good to have a third car bay. If it were me, I'd also put a double or triple carport in front of the triple garage to accommodate your daily drivers and a visitors spot (and an undercover charging bay).

@@hpman911 I can't see why not. Although I understand where you're coming from. And Ped said they couldn't get permission to allow direct access to the first floor from the rear. But from the front it wouldn't change much. A flat-roofed timber carport, stained dark brown would seem more in keeping than what they've given permission for. But you may well be right, because AFAICS planners often have very limited vision. IMO, a timber deck on the back would have been nice as well, but clearly the planners think such will affect the farmer's outlook and privacy, or they have some other strange idea of the environmental impact of a door and a very limited increase in humanity on display.

Note sure if anyone has mentioned this but think about ventilation. I've had typical family cars until I bought a 911 last October which I am very passionate about. The car is garaged and not used as a daily drive. I'd always thought that garaging a car would be good for it but over the winter I installed temperature and humidity sensors inside and outside the garage. The garage is of normal construction with brick walls, slate roof and an up-and-over door. What I noticed is that the relative humidity (RH) in the garage was typically 10% to 25% worse than outside, varying between 65% and 90% RH over much of the winter when outside was typically less than 70%. I understand that the risk of mould increases greatly when relative humidity is more than 70% so these results concerned me. To address this and control the RH you can use dehumidifiers or keep the temp above about 15 deg. C. Both can be expensive and are hard to do in a garage with so many holes and gaps around doors. Another and cheaper alternative seems to be forced air circulation. So pumping outside air into the garage using an extractor fan type arrangement. It seems a 150mm fan should be enough but I have not tested this. Currently I'm part way through my research on the solution but will certainly install something for next winter. The reason for the post here is to encourage you to look at building in some form of humidity management into the new garage as it's being built. This should be cheaper and better than retrofitting later. And apologies for the long post!

@@PetrolPed Pete, it might be worth buying a cheap 'hygrometer' ... you can get them for under £20 from the bay. I use one in my man cave, as I have expensive acoustic guitars, and have to control the humidity of the room. Even the cheap ones are accurate enough, you can literally blow on the sensor and it will instantly change the reading. Edit - the one I use actually costs about £8 ! The model number is a HTC-1 ... shows temperature, humidity, and the time.

Moisture management with the old walls and ground behind will be important given its been open for so long. It will take (a long) time for everything to rebalance and settle down, once you close the space up. Be prepared to wait once works are finished before you put humidity or moisture sensitive things inside - your favourite art or posters etc.
