What is a "carriage house"?
A carriage house is a small building that was originally used to store horse-drawn carriages and related equipment. It often includes space for horses and a separate area for the carriage, with large doors for easy access. Over time, many carriage houses have been converted into guest houses, storage spaces, or workshops, especially when automobiles replaced horse-drawn carriages. Carriage houses are typically found on larger properties and may be located near the main house. They are often built in a similar style to the main residence, with a functional yet charming design.
