Dear Theresa,

It would be good if you can provide a `sketch' and send as an attachment to this forum for me to take a look at it.

As mentioned, it would be best to provide a sketch (in proportion) as it is difficult for me to comment on the above.

Apologies.. I am not too clear on this.

Determining the frontage of the house is important here. Some houses, may have the frontage facing the `back' of the house.

Usually, if this is the back of the house, it is best to have a wall or fence (bushes) to protect the back of the home.

It would be good to have the house protected on each side and particularly advantages if it can be like a horseshoe effect.
