East facing garden?

23 Posts

We are considering buying a house but it has an east facing garden, plus when we viewed at 9.15am it was half shaded by the property behind it.
we are not the bbq kind and apparently we should get garden sun during the morning; (possibly into the afternoon??).
but I’ve seen people saying they’d never buy a property with an east facing garden, takes days to dry washing, back rooms are always cold etc etc.
Help! Is all that really true? I hate dark rooms. Plus how much would the house behind us affect our sun?
all replies welcomed, good or bad!!

The first underwater pictures they did were of my favourite secret island on the great barrier reef. Wasn't the same as snorkelling there though.The fish didn't move.
Returning to an easterly garden, true it is more likely to get frost that lingers and you would have to be specific about what you grow there.
Things don't quite work out like the telly gardens. I found 7 manhole covers with associated drains so my garden plans went down the tubes. And south facing too hot. Front east bedroom like a sauna at ridiculous timed sunrise. If you like the house and location you adapt and work with it.
