I think you’ll get sun in the morning, then (maybe) some evening sun at the far end of the garden.

Mine was like that. 
You will get the sun on your back room windows until about 10-11am, after that the sun moves round the right hand edge and the shade in the garden gets larger.  By about 4pm you will only get sun at the bottom of the garden if your garden is long enough as all the garden will be in the shadow of your own house. 
Play for yourself at suncalc.net to see where the sun is at various times and in various months of the year. 
You would be able to possibly pop a garden room (aka shed) in that corner behind the garage as that's where the last bit of sun will come from. 
Caveat: It does also depend on other surrounding buildings... in short, you might, you might not, get any or much...  after about 5pm the sun used to go behind a big building opposite my house and that was it, game over anywhere.

My tip is: Go and view at 4pm and see where it is.

It depends how long your garden is. I have a south facing garden, which is amazing in the spring and summer as I get sun all day but as it’s not very long, in the autumn and winter I lose the sun behind the house that is situated behind the end of my garden. 
I previously lived in a north facing garden which is generally the worst but as my garden was long, I could go half way down the garden and get the sun in the summer or winter. 
Looking at the map you might be fortunate to get sun most of the day at the end of the garden depending on the height of the houses.

You have to factor in the height and location of houses, trees and fences.

You might also consider that although most people want lots of sunshine in the garden, if young children are playing outside on a patio, they'll need protection from bright sunshine in summer. Many of of us with sun all day on the rear garden end up having to provide shade to avoid discomfort at the times when we feel warm enough to sit outside.

The thing is, you can always create shade. You can't create sun.

And it is not just children who burn easily, I do too.  I can sit out comfortably on my shady NNE patio in the summer.

My garden is north facing. I thought it would be rubbish in summer. However, it's great! Loads of sun at the end of my garden, really hot in summer. Enough shade at the top for the kids and dogs. Plus my kitchen is at the back so cooking in summer isn't horrendous. My living room is at the front of the house so is lovely and warm in winter plus loads of light all year round which as we spend so much time in there is great.

  You don't live in Devon though. Always 'sunny' here.
