Dear Judy,
Thanks for your email.
If you can draw a sketch and upload it to this forum, it would be great, as it would help understand what you had written below so that it can be related properly.
If possible, if a second sketch could be given - with a sketch or brief descrption (first) of what is the back, next to or infront of your home - and any other details such as the elevation of your plot vis-a-vis the neighours.
Ideally, we look at the landscape, site and home. And these three should be related. For landscape, it is harder because one has to be physically present.
The next best alternative for looking at questions such as yours is at the minimum level the site and the home.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
