We are looking to buy a house (semi) on a decent-sized plot but the main garden area is at the front. Lawned, with a low-ish fence between next door’s front garden (their main garden) and same fence bordering the street (cul de sac). The back garden is quite dark and small, although bigger than what we have now (small back yard). I’m not sure it’s a dealbreaker for me, but DH seems to be talking about getting it fenced off asap. I think and thoughtful planting might work. He says it’s a big garden to put work into when you can’t properly enjoy it because it’s not private enough. I suppose I just want to know if anyone has any experience of their main garden at the front and how they have made it private? I think you can only have a fence of 1m max at the front. It’s the only downside to the house - the space inside is great (needs work though) and location is really good. I don’t want to regret going for it - but don’t want to regret not going for it either, as properties where it is rarely come up for sale.
