Sun & light

Best light comes from the north. Living areas, windows or a yard facing north get the warmest, most reliable sun - and winter sun sits low, so tall buildings or trees on that side can overshadow it. South-facing rooms get little direct sun. We can't see your specific building, so check which way the main rooms face when you visit (same path for the whole street).

Data notes

Sun & aspect

The midday sun is to the north here, so north-facing living areas, windows and yards get the best, warmest light - which way the property faces is what decides it (see the sun diagram).

Verify: Visit at the time of day you'd use the main rooms and check which way they face.
