Brick wall bottom of garden

12 replies

Found the ideal house - modernised Victorian terrace. At the bottom of 30 foot garden the boundary is a roughly 2 story brick wall. It is the back of established business premises and spreads along several houses. There are no windows. How off putting would you find it?

Not at all, nice and private.

A walled garden?
My dream

QuirkyHorse · Yesterday 19:58

We had this along 2 sides of our garden.
Loves it. It was was the 3rd side that was problematic 🙈

Love a wall in the garden

Depends what the businesses are surely? The wall itself wouldn't be an issue but potential noise and smell could be.

Seems to be office/ warehouse for building materials. Vans go out to construction jobs. No smell.

What’s bothering you about it?

Can you grow things, like Virginia Creeper against it?
If the wall is south facing you could grow peaches there.
If you can attach tbings to it, you could find old, multi-frame window frames and put mirrors in place of the glass - in fact you could create a complete false building.
Or using 'trompe l'oeil' create a 3D jungle scene...
There's so much you could do with it.

Thanks for the replies. The garden is small for the size of house as it's been extended and the rear wall is tall. I guess we embrace the privacy aspect and do some planting to break up the view.

I’d love the privacy but would be worried about how much it blocks the sun if it’s a small garden.

The privacy would be amazing. But I wouldn’t if it made the garden too dark…
