there's not a lot of land, as it is in a town. it's also grade ii listed, so any mods would be difficult.
It depends on what changes you're looking to make, what parts of the building the listing relates to and whether or not the changes affect any original fabric, or whether any views of the building are affected from public land etc.
It's possible to do very contemporary extensions even to Grade I listed buildings, so whilst there is more risk of getting knocked back at planning, its still very common to make changes to listed buildings (in London at least). Speak to an architect or a planning consultant to get a stear on what they think is possible. If similar buildings in the area are listed search planning records to see if other extensions have been permitted etc.
Not sure how a garage extension may fit into this. If it was separate from the house, it might depend whether the listed status related just to the house itself or its setting too.

i am currently looking into something like this: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/commercial-property-for-sale/property-38864343.html (but smaller) and then seeing if i can rent a space or two to help with the mortgage.
