i sort of considered building to the boundary when we did ours, but couldn't get my head around not having any external access to the back garden in case of needing to do any major work (such as building a shed or tree work)
do you have alternate access?

Nah, I weighed this up and decided that all that kind of shit can just get traipsed through the house when needed.
The side passage was a massive boon up until now, but I can live with putting floor protection down and cleaning up after messy works for the sake of loads of extra space and a ground floor bog.

Yeah, house is semi-detached with side access, but we extended to the boundary and put a small bog down one end of the side passage (door on the right in the pic), and left the rest of it as a covered bike storage area accessible via a door from the front of the house.
