We've bought a house with a north-facing garden, and one big advantage is that any garden-facing bedrooms will not get the morning sun, so you will be able to sleep in without noise or sun! We get loads of sun. Mines north facing. We live in a new build, so it's partially because if the level of insulation, but I can't emphasise enough how unbearable it can be when it's really sunny. Our current north facing garden is so much nicer.I have a west facing garden currently with no shade on the south side. I am enjoying the planting challenge - latest mix of clematis & ferns are lovely.
I would not buy a house with a north facing garden. My driveway (now in full sun from facing south), means that snow/ice in winter melts away a lot quicker than on the other side of the road. I would appreciate any feedback. Another consideration is that the kitchen will probably not have direct sunlight in it all day. We bought a N facing gardened house and regretted it. In the summer, it gets full sun until 2ish and then the patio gets shaded (which is good as it gives somewhere to sit) and the last of the sun doesn't go from the end until 8-9pm. I did that and also checked neighbouring gardens for 'health' of plants...even asked one neighbour what soil type it was I have a North facing back garden and the front, where we grow our veggiesWe have a north facing garden and it's perfect. I echo what others have said, it depends on depth of garden. In the summer we often sit out after dinner on the decking at the top of the garden and soak up the last of the rays. To use this feature subscribe to Mumsnet Premium - get first access to Hi everyone.. There are no fences or boundary walls separating the neighbouring houses.. so it cant be that private.. A small portion of the garden gets sun light according to the current owners..Sounds similarly positioned to my house, although I have a much smaller north facing back garden (about 15 ft). In winter, we get sun until about 3ish (it goes dark from 4pm). House is not gloomy at all and the patio is at the bottom of the garden. Are there any other possibilities in the same development?I'm confused by this whole north facing garden thing. We have different veg for different parts of the garden - the only ones that really were unhappy in … The house only casts a shadow about 6ft. We have a double whammy at the back because the neighbours' trees on either side shade the garden more and suck the moisture out of the soil. I had a house with a north ish facing garden and the grass didn't grow. We like a secluded garden, and once our north facing garden was surrounded by enough trees and hedges to be private it became quite damp and sunless. My house was marketed as north facing garden.

It isn't the summer so much as the winter sun in the garden which is so welcome. There are various paved areas so we are not restricted to sitting in the shady bit.
In the summer the shade has been v welcome. Moved across the road some time later and there was a huge difference. A north-facing garden will be over-shadowed by the house for at least some of the day, but if it's longer than the shadow, that's not much of a problem and could be an advantage in heat like this. We have a north facing garden, about 65ft and it's hugely sunny. In the summer it's in the sun all day and we had to get a parasol to get some shade. The east part of the garden grows plants amazingly well but tbh the rest isn't bad either. it was pretty gloomy. I have a small North West facing garden. However, it does partly depend on how the light hits. Sorry. Posted 17/10/2016. @SolomanDaisy, We are mainly worried abt its resale value ;)I couldn't tell you what direction our garden faced. We found in our new build the neighbours all grew ivy up the fence so that blocked sun on both sides of fence and as we'll as only having a postage stamp area with sun. I love sunny gardens. I'm not a sun worshipper and we're all fair skinned. No estate agent in his right mind would actively 'market' a house as having a north facing garden, when it is considered a negative feature by most people! It was a compromise when we bought the house. There are no large trees at the back of the garden. We do get Sun in different parts of the garden during the day & also have different parts in the shade. The front garden is north of and back garden is south of the house. Growing veg is a bit of a challenge & I end up growing tomatoes in the front.
DH and I are both sun lovers. No problem with hanging out washing, either. I have grown to appreciate it. (My garden is pretty large so possibly you're going to find somewhere that is sunny) Hen, I would say that your house should never have been marketed as having a north facing garden!My garden is east facing and I think this is worse than north facing because when the sun starts to set, the house throws a shadow over the garden. We put shingle down in the end and we could still grow things like herbs so it wasn't that shaded x Reply. However, if the garden is small, and particularly if it is also surrounded by other houses that cast their shadows on it at different times of day, then it could be dark most of the time, and that could be depressing.Probably not, and cetainly not in a new build, where they tend to have small gardens that are often less deep than the house is high, iyswim. Tamara Kelly April 29, 2019 3:54 pm. I would like your inputs on this topic! I bought it 7 yrs ago and the EA was useless. So my garden is south facing... South facing is lovely OP. That would bother me too.I've got a north facing garden, in summer we get loads of Sun and have decking at the end of the garden and the patio by the house is in the share which is lovely, it beats the shade from an umbrella. Our current house is the other way around and I spend as little time as possible in the back yard, on a hot sunny day, because it's intolerable.We have a NE facing garden, about 40 feet deep. I think its probably difficult. Sure the front is sunnier for longer but the bottom of my garden gets plenty of sun and I have some great fruit bushes there that don't seem bothered I was going to suggest popping around there and checking garden in the evening or daytime.
