Project highlights

The brief was a large garage and workshop with somewhere to sleep. A Henley design with 5 garage bays, 4 x 3.2m high roller doors and a patio fitted the bill perfectly.

This one was built from a Lifestyle Builds kitset. The highly experienced team at DS Building did an outstanding job, taking on every part of the project from foundations to cladding.
