and I would have a useless front garden.
A front garden is never useless because it can bring joy. You can really have fun with perennials and low shrubs that you enjoy every day when you come home, even in winter, when you rarely get to see much of the garden.
I would plant a hedge and then let it grow taller than 80 cm, hoping that no one comes to check or that no neighbor rats me out.
I would do that towards the field...
As if you were so interesting that the neighborhood would have nothing better to do than watch every little thing in the garden... Don’t take that (too) seriously.
Hehe... I often think that too.
Basically, for comfort, you should enclose the terrace a bit with shrubs – of course, it depends on the rest, like the height, what kind of shrubs, etc.
With you, you can do that continuously towards the north side. The rest, that is the left northern part of the property, with 80/100 cm high bushes. In between, a path forms that you can nicely run into the front garden. Towards the field, you can also plant a serviceberry or something similar (a bush or tree that grows about 5-7 meters high) between the field and the terrace... so you are almost invisible from the terrace.
But honestly: you will later know everyone who uses the path. And a chat here and there is not to be underestimated.
For a lounge area, you also create a planting or a privacy screen wall in the middle of the lawn, so you structure spaces in the garden.
You have neighbors everywhere, and if not at this property, then at another where the neighbor has a balcony from which he can look.
But he has his own life too.
I don’t think the property is bad at all now, but rather the opposite.
It is sufficient for a house and manageable for a garden. The orientation is also okay. And the location is great: it’s basically a dead-end location with a field view...?
I would approach it a bit more enthusiastically and make the best of it.
