If the batteries are not being charged, I don't see any reason why they can't simply be stored in your home's basement. At one time, there was a concern about keeping the battery on a bare cement/concrete floor. However, with today's battery construction and composition, there is no problem about placing a battery on a bare concrete floor.
If they are going to be placed on a charger, I would move them into the garage and place them on a trickle charger. If they are kept fully charged, there is no concern about them freezing. I would place them on plywood or something similar.
