ᐅ Is this possible? Access driveway entirely through the garden. Looking for examples.

The plot is fine. Remove the garage (it’s mostly used just for storing junk – bicycles, etc.). Parking space on the street and the rest is garden. Then you’ll also have a reasonably sized garden. You just have to accept not having a garage.

Please upload a dimensioned plan. In your sketch, the house (without the terrace) is only about 6x7 ... 7x8 m (20x23 ... 23x26 ft), which is really quite small.

A driveway can be made using plastic grass pavers to create a "meadow-like" look, allowing it to blend in with the garden.

However, I would also prefer the option of having an open carport facing the street and a small garden shed for storage where the garage was planned.

The suggestion to share a driveway with the neighbor is also a good idea!

What is north of the house? Does that basically mean you have a dead spot on the property?

Why call it a dead spot? You can pave it, create a second terrace, smoke fish there, clean your bike, hang laundry, or set up a sandbox.

Oh, so for me, that lot wouldn’t be anything under those conditions.

I wouldn’t say that at all.
How wide is it? How long is it?
With a width of 10 meters (33 feet), you could put a double carport—yes, double!—all the way at the front, which also provides privacy. Although, privacy from what exactly? It’s a nice dead-end street, so probably no one wanders through there, and the nearest neighbor is far away.
Terraced houses like that are common and not unusual. Access from the south isn’t rare either.
So: keep your eyes open in the next residential area and have a look. What you’re familiar with is less likely to be rejected immediately.
Apart from that, our end-terrace house was designed similarly. We also parked our car on the cul-de-sac and then walked through the garden to the front door on the north side.
Take a look at terraced houses in densely populated neighborhoods over there. Many can’t even park on their own property. Ew, that’s just not done 😉 But it is!

Such semi-detached houses are common, nothing unusual. It’s also common to have access from the south.
So: keep your eyes open in the next neighborhood and have a look. We tend to reject what we don’t know.

Check out the terraced houses in densely populated areas there as well. Many can’t even park on their own property. Ew, that’s just not possible 😉 But it is!

I understand that parking directly at the house is not always possible, etc. But the plot would be too small for me anyway, and if there are also restrictions on exactly where the house must be positioned, that would be a deal breaker for me.

There are regions where this tiny plot already costs at least 350,000 euros (around 350,000 US dollars) or more. You really have no other option, unless you rent an apartment. What would you do then?

I would either rent or buy an existing property if that’s possible. Because spending €350,000 (about $375,000) just for land is beyond our budget, or only feasible if we plan to pay off the land and house for a long time into retirement. In that case, renting would be preferable for me.
