West facing back / East facing front

Assuming I'll get sun in the front in the morning and sun in the back in the afternoon / Eve?

That's my layout - lovely sunshine all afternoon till the sun goes down

I love this house. I'm not going to post it on here because I don't want any competition.

It's a reno project, which isn't what I thought I wanted but it has so much potential.

Ours is this way. We get morning sun so I tend to have a coffee in the front first thing, then from 11am get sun in the back til sunset. Our kitchen was in the back extension but we moved it to the middle and have a sofa area in the back with patio doors. It’s lovely!

This one has a conservatory in the back.

I notice the neighbours both have benches at the front - think this must be fir morning sun. It's on a quiet road.

It's the perfect orientation. Snap it up! Good luck.

I sit out the front in the morning with my morning coffee in the sun and we have breakfast in the front room in the sun.

The back garden gets sun from 9.30am all day. In the evening we sit out the back in a little sun trap - till about 8pm in summer when the sun goes behind our neighbour's house and on a nice day till about 4.30 in the winter.

The benches at the front may be because in the heat of summer it gets very hot in the back and depending on trees, tall bushes etc there isn't any/sufficient shade in the back.

I face that direction.

I had an orangery facing west and it does get really hot. But if your bedrooms are in the front you get nice morning sun and sun in the afternoon in the back rooms, if your living room is at the front which you mostly use at night then that works well too.
My current house is front south and back north, which is a surprisingly good set up. I get sun in my bedroom and living room a lot of the day, and no direct sun into the extension at back which has two skylights and a wall of glass, so it doesn't overheat. But the garden gets sun most of the day as the sun moves overhead, though probably a bit less in the winter (I'm hardly out there then though).
People do seem to give too much weight to the house direction - if it ticks most other boxes, unless it's in the shadow of really tall buildings I don't think direction is all that.
