carriage house

Historic vehicle shelter

A carriage house is a building originally designed to store horse-drawn carriages, typically located on the grounds of a larger estate.

Many have been converted to garages, guest quarters, or independent residences: They renovated the old carriage house into a rental unit.

In real estate, the term sometimes describes any small secondary dwelling on a property.
