A Stunning Oak-Framed Two-Bay Garage with Family Space Above

As Guildford carpenters, we’re often asked to create buildings that are both practical and beautiful, and this Oak-framed garage in Chiddingfold is a perfect example. Our clients wanted more than just a place to park cars; they were looking for a versatile building with extra living space above. The result is a detached, two-bay Oak-framed garage with family space on the first floor.

The finished building is full of character. Made from freshly sawn green Oak with featheredge boarding and topped with handmade clay tiles, it has a timeless look that blends beautifully into its surroundings. Upstairs, the accommodation provides real flexibility and is perfect as a guest suite (complete with en-suite shower room), home office, or family retreat.

This project shows what’s possible when traditional carpentry, experience and careful project management come together. For more details and pictures throughout the build, please take a look at our case study, found in our portfolio.
