When I was buying I saw quite a few places that were done like that, extended until their gardens were nothing and they were horrid, full open plan that was done badly and felt like aircraft hangers
Yep. Saw some shockers in our search. Ended up going for the place where the rear reception and kitchen / dining are still separate with the later being extended out the back of the house to accommodate a better sized kitchen. Owner was like 'yeah some people want to spend all their time with their children but we didn't'.

At the time I totally would have gone for it, and destroyed the garden, but I am so glad I didn't! I'm loving having outside space, even before being locked away for 6 months.

Edit: that aesthetic is everything I love/aspire to, problem is I am not that person, I have far too few zeros at the end of my savings and I am incapable of brushing my teeth without getting toothpaste on my t shirt.
