Default Single Garage Set Up

So I've just bought a new house with my Wife. I liked a 3 bed semi with enough room to build a decent size double garage at the end of the garden and she liked a 3 year old 4 bed detached with a single and no room to build anything bigger. After some discussion and a few arguments we compromised and put an offer on the 4 bed detached.

So now I'm going to have to deal with a single garage for the foreseeable.

I've accepted I'm not going to be able to work on anything in the garage, the Defender is too tall to go in there for a start so looking for the best way to lay out the garage.

I'm looking to have a decent work bench with a decent vice to work at, but I also need to consider storage for tools and detailing gear. I've got room to one side to build a small housing for my compressor.

I'm going to board the ceilings and walls, get some decent insulation in the loft and a heater in there and some decent lighting. I'm going going to put a decent electric supply out there, probably 50A, maybe even 63A.

But I need ideas for how to lay it all out. Anyone else work from a single garage?
