Fuck the garden it’s the garage and side access that you want. Solved in the same way though; you have to move.
A big garden is a burden. Kids play in the park.

though that's easy to say when your house actually backs onto a park.

yeh but then you have to take them to the park and that is a faff in and of itself.
having a nice sized garden was non negotiable when I was house hunting 18 months ago. garages are great if you can get one - next to noone parks their car in one now tho so they are just for storage.
I have a 12ft x 6ft shed in my garden which nicely houses all my bikes and the lawnmower. no need for a garage, although I did also want off street parking. I spent too many years watching in bewilderment as neighbours used to put wheely bins out to reserve car parking. it used to get very tedious watching it all and life is too short to fall out with your neighbours over such things.

Problem with buying an over extended (original 2 bed) terraced house common to E11 or E17 is that whilst you might get a decent sized house at the end of it, you cannot change the size of the garden (which normally is fairly small at between 15-30 feet on average).
I had to move to wanstead/aldersbrook to get what I wanted as a decent sized family garden (80ft+). I'd have happily have stayed in my last house at 1250sq ft but the garden simply wasn't a sustainable size at 20ft.
