We now have our terrace on the south and west sides, and it is too hot for me on both sides in the summer. The nicest spot is on the east side, but there is "only" lawn there.
Friends have their terrace on the north side, but since the sun is so high in summer, they only have shade directly by the house. When they go further into the garden, they have sun all day at the back end of the property.
We have now deliberately planned our new house so that the main terrace is in the south, but shaded by an additional gable and roof overhang. On the east, we have a second terrace.
I would have taken a north-facing plot as well. I don't think that's bad at all – but I'm also not a sun lover.
