Southerly backing garden

Stelbud

Hi everyone,

We're thinking of moving and have been looking at properties online. I've come across a couple that refer to the gardens as being 'Southerly backing' - does this just mean North facing??

I've googled it but can't seem to find a definition.

Thanks in advance,
SB

We tried but couldn't work out which one was the house. Thanks anyway.

Yes it would mean that the garden at the back of the house faces south.

its usually easy with pics, sat view(not map), street view

I believe northerly fronting is quite similar, and quite delightful too, in its own way.

However, avoid westerly leaning and easterly slipping, especially in coastal areas.

If you have a photo of the front of the house, use streetview and then Google Maps with satellite imagery to double check. You should hopefully know which house it is.

Then to see how much sun it gets use

multimap/Bing gives better aeriel view.

but yes, the house faces north, the garden faces south.
