this house likely to get any sunlight at all?
Without knowing the area, how do you expect anyone to be able to advise
you? Go along and visit at different times of day then you'll know.

If it's on the North side of the Malvern Hills, the answer is no it will
always be in shadow. The same applies if it is on the south bank of the
rhine near the Lorelei.

If you want a specific answer you will need to give some facts.

this is the house.. http://tinyurl.com/2o4cv2

Is that any use? what else do you need to know?

If you're really serious, put the image from Google Earth into Google
Sketchup and turn the shadows on. It gives you a pretty good idea how the
light will fall at different times of the day/year.
If the back of the house is south facing, and that's where your kitchen
and garden are located, that's a bonus I would have thought

house is at - Lat 53.0766° Long -2.00393°

Back of house is facing north towards the nice view, front of house faces
the steep driveway up the hill immediately in front of it.
