Hi all,
I am looking for a bit of advice. We are considering buying a larger house to move into as our current one is getting quite cramped. We want one with a decent garden for the kids to play in.
We have found a nice house which would require total renovation but on the plus size it has a large garden. However the back of the house is north-facing. I have only ever heard negative things about north-facing houses, getting no light, always in shadow etc. I would like to have some sun shining in the back kitchen, with this house that won't be possible.
I have asked several friends about their theoretical preference, some would not entertain the idea of a house with a north-facing garden, others say it wouldn't bother them a bit.
Given the price of this house I don't think we will be able to move ever again and I am wondering if it would be a big mistake to buy it. I would appreciate any advice on the subject. Many thanks
