The key is for the space to become a value selling attribute... don't do it unless you want to do it right because you'll detract from your home's value if it ends up looking like a conversion job rather than the way the house was originally built. Is the floor lower than that of the rest of your house? You'll have to build the floor up to match unless it's so much lower that you can open up a nice wide doorway and put in decorative stairs so that it looks like an intentionally sunken space. Or, would raising the floor make the ceiling too low? You have to consider all these things before you start. You will have to take the garage door out and enclose the hole, so you'll have to get siding to match the rest of your house; you'll probably want to put in a nice big window there, too because most garages don't have any (you might want to consider adding a window on the side, too). You will need to put up drywall unless it's already there, and check to see if there is insulation in the walls which there probably isn't. You will need to insulate the walls and in the attic, and run ductwork out there for heating & air, making sure that your ac unit can handle the extra square footage. Another way to keep it from looking like a conversion job from the outside is to consider reshaping the driveway after you're done so that it doesn't look like it runs into the side of a finished house... a tale tell sign of a conversion that most people don't fix. Check with your city/county regarding permits required for this work, before you do anything at all. My advice? If you need extra space, it's not worth taking out a garage that some buyers would consider a required necessity unless you plan to add some other kind of covered or enclosed parking solution. Chances are you will probably look to sell your house at some point so you need to consider that heavily. You might be better off, depending on the market in your area, just buying a new house.
It depends what you want to covert it to !... If you're wanting to turn it into habitable space (sitting room or extra bedroom for example) - you'll need power for light & heat, window(s), a waterproof roof, and a decent floor.
Call some contractors for a free estimate and get some ideas. It is hard to tell you how to proceed without personally seeing the set up.
A room that is attached to another room.
A one car bay garage is usually a free standing structure with room for one car. They can be attached to a house.
There's an attached garage with room for one car in front of it.
Not usually, unless there is a condition attached to a previous planning permission on the property restricting the use of the garage for parking vehicles only. Best check with the planning dept.

Located in Mine Hill, NJ. A home with an attached garage and made with bricks and has 3 elevators.

The difference between a regular garage and a premier is relatively the location and the size. A regular garage is usually attached to the house that one lives in, stores one's car, and can be opened and closed automatically. A premier garage is normally bigger than that of a regular garage and is built off of the house. It is mainly used for things other than car storage. For example, a game room or other types of storage.
