Odd area - many people (like these) seem to hide their front gardens as well as the back.

We have a relative that used to live in a house very much like that.  The back garden is a tiny little yard, very uninviting and accessed from "the back lane"  Whereas the front garden is very long, and a much nicer space.  So most of the people treated the front garden as the main garden and so plant hedges or put up tall fences if they can get away with it, to make the front garden more private.

One heck of snag.

looking at the colour of the bricks it looks as though there might have been a porch or double door originally that has been moved / narrowed

Somebody decided that a downstairs loo was more important than having the door line up?

Does the skeleton on the table (pic 7) count ?

Yes, though I must admit I'm not 100% sure it is a cat's skeleton

Is there some limit on having a high fence at the front?

Planning would not usually allow it, but plenty did it and if nobody complained they got away with it, then after a certain number of years it could not be enforced.
