Our home is built in to a hill.
At the front there are two floors, garages only the ground floor and above the garages two bedrooms and family bathroom - directly over the garages.
The rest of the house forms a "L" shape on the hill.
Anyway I would like to transform the garages in to a man cave, TV, workbench, office - for working from home, sofa. The size is about 18.5 ft wide and garage 1 is 15 ft deep, garage 2 is 20 ft deep. There are two separate doors but these are effectively one large rooms with a fire board between them.
There are two ageing softwood brown doors with small ineffective windows.
One other concern is the house is split level so the garages would add another floor - 2.5 floors in total so 3 from a building regs point of view.
Has anyone converted integral garages before - what building regs are required etc?
Thanks, Z
