outbuilding
Barn or garage
An outbuilding is a structure on a property that stands separate from the main building—a shed, barn, garage, or workshop.
The term implies the building serves a secondary function: storage, animals, or work that doesn't belong in the house.
The old outbuilding had been converted into a guest cottage.
