Swapping entrance of house from back to the front- possible?

[reliahag]

Semi-detached house that looks worse for wear at the front (which is down a small alleyway which I'm not keen on) but the back of the house is much better and faces the main road. Would it be possible to swap the entrance of the house to the front? This would mean the front of the house would be the only garden to the property (there's currently a communal garden area at the front of the house). Would this be possible or worth it? House is listed for £610,000.

Would we need planning permission?

Bump

I don't fully understand what you mean here. Do you not have back door access and you want to add it and use it instead of the front?

Is this where you live at the moment?

If it's somewhere you are thinking of buying could you post a link to the listing. It may be easier to see

Honestly I've just used the back door on most of my properties this one I used the side entrance until I stopped using a pushchair

Can you do a diagram and floor plan?

I think I know what you mean - change the address to the street which is at the back of the property? Hard to tell with all the front and back used in the OP though!

Could be tricky to receive post/deliveries, unless you are happy for them to go to what would become your back door.
