A town built after the war
Billingham grew fast in the 1950s and 60s, and most of its semis and short terraces came with an integral or attached garage as standard. Those garages convert well: the structures are simple, the plots are level, and a full conversion typically runs £10,000 to £18,000, or £6,000 to £12,000 for a part conversion keeping storage up front. On estates where the garage is the only storage the house has, the part conversion is the local favourite for good reason.
The storage question
Billingham's post-war houses were built with minimal internal storage, so the garage often genuinely earns its keep. Before choosing a full conversion, count what the garage actually holds: bikes, the freezer, garden kit, the tumble dryer. If losing that space means a shed eating the garden, a part conversion gives you the room and keeps the storage, and saves £4,000 to £6,000 into the bargain.
