Placing a single-story house on the plot is a small challenge, unusual - but doable and not inherently bad. Facing the view towards the fields instead of the residential area also has something to it. Everything is fine so far.

I would place a parking space or carport as close as possible to the street boundary and neighbor boundary. Depending on the building regulations, you may need to provide an additional parking space - you should inquire about this. Are there other vehicles (bicycle, pedal car, scooter...)? They also need accessible storage from the street and usually bother inside the house. Just think about it.

The topic of light is a challenge with the location if you like your rooms bright. Because of the north-facing orientation, it will generally be darker. With a bungalow, you can work very well with daylight from above - of course, like all special features, this involves additional costs.

Since you probably want to live in the house with your family yourself, it makes sense to think about the typical and preferred daily routines and processes. With children, it is advisable to consider that at some point they will become teenagers - who have different demands and present other challenges. Many parameters for the arrangement and placement on the plot arise from these considerations.

One often considered parameter would be the stay in the garden in summer - do you like to sit together? Sun or shade? How many? Also relaxing? Do you need exactly one universal place mostly called "THE terrace," or do you set up several places?

Another parameter is the handling of storage space. Do you have a lot or little "stuff," space-intensive hobbies? Depending on how many things you want to live with, you need more or less storage space, which is more or less accessible. For some, this is also the reason to prefer a garage over a carport - it is, in addition to vehicle storage, a comparatively inexpensive locked storage room.

Don’t think in individual problems, but start with the requirements - as you have already partly considered. Then you can think in solutions. It’s also more fun.

Thank you very much for the detailed answer... I did not misunderstand it at all or take it as a reproach, I will think about some things. A city villa was also a topic, partly because of the size.... But I am already over 40 and think more about old age.....

Wow, thank you very much... Exactly this kind of help is what I hoped for..... Many sensible topics, some of which I already have in mind, but not all.
I have also thought about placing the parking space closer to the street and I think it makes sense.
I hope to get light into the living room through the south/west side, large windows plus terrace door to the north (this brings little light, of course).
Storage will be less of an issue for us because I’m a bit particular about that, I hate unnecessary "stuff" and have very few things.
Thanks again for your contribution, it made me think again.... And confirmed me in some things.

Have a nice evening

In the west, however, you only have the 3 m minimum distance to the property boundary,... and your neighbor will probably only have this distance as well. It will then be tight with the west sun.

That is something I have also been thinking about... I had previously planned the terrace in the west. Then I saw that he is putting a garage on the boundary and next to it comes a two-story house.

.. and as a general rule, you are not allowed to place your terrace within the 3m distance zone. Another argument for perhaps a longer, slender house.
