As sarahMC said how big is the garden?
I'd like a garage that would hold a car in the winter.
Do you have kids. My friend tarmacked her driveway when her kids were younger so that they could play on their bikes when they small. When they got older she put down nice gravel.
While her garage wasn't big enough for a car, it had a freezer, a large clothes airer (which she used in the winter), plenty of sheves for 'stuff' like wellies, lawnmowers and bikes. It kept the house tidy.
