The stylish oak entrance frame gives generous drive-through clearance for all sizes of road car, including Range Rovers and other vehicles of a similar size.  

The timber used to build our carriage houses has been ethically-sourced from the forests in Northern Sweden. All timber has been treated to ensure your building remains resilient against the weather, and lasts for years. 

Entrances are constructed from 150 x 150 (6' x 6') sawn green oak with curved braces, morticed, tennoned and pegged in the time-honoured way.

Single, Double or three bay Carriage Houses are available in a range of 12 popular sizes.

A Garage, Workshop, Cart Lodge (tiled roofs only) or Log Store can be attached to create a beautiful country outbuilding of individual design to meet your own particular requirements.

All our Carriage Houses are available with a choice of 22-degrees pitch felt roofs or steeper pitch roofs to suit conventional house tiles or slates. For slates and interlocking concrete tiles select 25-30 degree pitch and 35 degree for plain tiles.

Walls of our Carriage House (also called Cart Lodge Garages) are 2.30m high and constructed from 4 x 2 CLS framework, diagonally braced or sheathed in 9mm osb as necessary.

Choose from 19 x 125 planed shiplap or 2 ex. 32 x 150 sawn featheredged weatherboard cladding. Both are machined from joinery grade Scandinavian Redwood timber to Passmores pattern with deep rebate and pressure treated for a long life with low maintenance.

The use by Passmores of high quality joinery grade redwood cladding is, we believe, unique in our industry. The benefits are increasingly felt as the building ages with reduced shrinkage and warping, fewer splits, curling and loose knots.

Our roof structure is demonstrably better than the majority of our competitors. Instead of widely spaced trusses and lightweight corrugated roof sheets we use house specification trusses spaced at 0.6m (2") intervals supporting a 15mm thick roof deck. This roof is so strong that PV solar panels can be fitted on top without the need for any modifications.

Our standard roof finish is high performance Ruberoid Challenger polyester 180 green mineral felt. Optional upgrades include Welsh grey mineral felt tiles or a multi layer felt roof built up in hot bitumen.

Design your Carriage House building by selecting a 1, 2 or 3 bay and then attach a Workshop, Garage or Log Store to it. Please see price list for all options.

We also offer an internal lining kit for all our British-made Carriage Houses.

Building Regulations approval is usually required for buildings larger than 30m². (5.4m x 5.4m = 29.16m²). All our Carriage Houses and Cart Lodges exceed the structural requirements of the Building Regulations and we can prove it by calculation, so we guarantee that you won't suffer from sagging walls or roof when you buy a Passmore building.
