I did some drawings for my bosses double garage. Its faced with Lakeland Stone and has a few windows, electric roll up door and storage space level. Think it cost him 12k but its a big garage and it wasn't square due to the shape of his garden boundary so that increased the cost of building/designing it.
it looks like a swiss cottage at the end of his garden

My next door neighbour had a timber garage built at the start of this year.
He had the foundations put down by a contractor then a company manufactured the garage in a factory, brought it to him on a flat bed lorry as a flat pack then they put it up for him. Only took them 6 hours. Included double doors and the windows were prebuilt in and a felt pitched roof.
Its quite big for a single garage, has his Porsche in there with plenty of room around it so he can work on it.
Maybe a cheaper option than a traditional block garage...
Gizzle you have a lot of stories about garages 
I amwell trained in the art of garage formation

I'd consider one if I thought it wouldn't look out of place with whatever house I get...

I live in a new house, garage is pretty generous. Can fit an Evo/350z in there with about 1.5 foot space either side and approx 5-6 ft in length left over. Has upstairs space too

Just manged to break down a corsa GSI in mine
2.6m x 5.5m
Going to put my track corsa in there next but put it on some wheel dollies as there is alot more working room when one side is pushed right up against a wall then I hope is easy to move to the other side
