Hello everyone,
we are considering purchasing a house: North American style with a wrap-around porch on a north-northwest facing lot (large north garden).
What do you think about the attached overview? I am a bit concerned that the house might be somewhat dark inside (especially now and during winter). There are enough windows, but the porch acts as a constant shading element. On the south side, there are practically no windows, as this area faces the courtyard and garages. Also, the terrace at the corner of the house might not be ideal. However, it would still be possible to create an uncovered seating area facing the garden.
Explanation:
T = Terrace
W = Living room
K = Kitchen
E = Entrance
G = Garage
UV = Wrap-around porch
Distances to neighboring buildings are indicated.
There is a shed to the left of the house that will be removed.
I look forward to your thoughts on this..!

Attached is an example of what is meant by a "wrap-around porch." For the actual house in question, a photo like this would be more helpful, preferably including an aerial view. The site plan doesn’t provide me with much clarity.
