French term or phrase: garage...avec un étage
Un garage d'une surface au sol de 42 m2 avec un étage, offre un grand espace de rangement pouvant être utilisé comme atelier, salle de sports, salle de cinéma ou pour tout autre activité.

Is this literally just a garage with an extra floor?

garage with room above
Explanation:
A two-storey garage would mean that both storeys were for garaging vehicles. That doesn't seem to be what is meant here.

agree  writeaway: oeuf corse. that's the term in English. with or without hyphen
33 mins
disagree  Daryo: that would mean both levels are used as "garage" - not what is said in the ST + extremely unlikely as intended meaning unless it's some really big commercial property!

agree  Yvonne Gallagher: Yes, also used. 106,000 G results for "garage with room above" versus 33,100 G results for "A two-storey garage"

neutral  Rob Grayson: "A two-storey garage would mean that both storeys were for garaging vehicles." Um, I don't think so. Google "two-storey garage" and you'll see this isn't the case. // Show me a residential garage with two-storey parking…
38 mins
  -> I tried Googling '"two-storey garage" .uk' and got just eight hits. However, it does seem to be common in US English.
neutral  writeaway: works for a two-storey car park or parking garage but this is residential so it's simply a two-storey garage. room is too specific -could just be storage space
46 mins
  -> See my comment to Rob Grayson. However, I do agree that in the context of a house (but not flats) it is unlikely that the upper storey would be for vehicles.
agree  Tony M: This is very commonly found, or 'garage with upper floor' or '...with usable space over'. 'usable' = 'habitable' = rules about height ;-)
1 hr
  -> Thanks Tony. "Usable space over" could mean space with insufficient headroom to be used as a room.
