I think the option of having the tv under the stairs.. Is the best idea.. Maybe have a tv, media unit made to measure if possible .. Draws or cupboards underneath for storage. Small shelves at the sides for little ink-naks. If needed.. A smaller maybe glass oblong table in front of the window. The table will still allow light through.. Making sure passable through to the stairs.. And the sofa on the back wall.. Lovely rug in the centre with coffee table or chest for extra storage if needed... Maybe some open floating shelves off set above the sofa. Use an accent colour with accessories.. From the rug or cushions.. Don't go overboard with large piece of furniture... Simple statements....

There is definitely no tanking (waterproofing) on the back of the wall and the water is coming through and blowing the render off. You need to excavate the soil away from the back of the wall, and allow it to dry out. You then need to paint the back of the wall with a tanking paint - I usually specify Permaseal. You'll need to remove all the render from the front face and seal it with an outdoor sealant. I'd also install a French drain at the back of the wall - you can put it just below soil level so that you can put the lawn over the top. A french drain is a simple construction and if you Google it you'll find many sites telling you how to do it. Once the wall is dry you can then either re-render or clad the front face.

Hi, to me it seems that you have a bit of a patio overkill. You need to know where you want the shaded dining area, a sunny patio area, maybe somewhere where you can enjoy a morning coffee in the sun or get the last sunrays on a summer evening. That all depends on how your garden is situated. Do you want to grow vegetables, do you want to spend time attending to flowerbeds (if you do them well, they aren't that time-consuming)? You need to know the size of the garden and draw a rough plan of what you would like to have where. Think it might be a good idea to get a garden designer/landscaper on board. I'd want to remove the lower patio, replace it with grass and flowerbeds, and place the steps from the upper patio in the middle. I think that the quickest way of making the patio edge safer for your fearless toddler, is putting big planters all along the edge. If you decide to change the patio at a later date, you can always reuse the planters elsewhere in the garden. Some inspirational photos for you.

Taking time to fertilise and care for your established hedging plants will be the cheapest option and will provide the best looking screen. Adding panels etc to this area will make the area fussy and draw attention to the hedge you are trying to hide. The plant nearest the house has at some point in the past had excellent new growth with vertical branches that have been allowed to grow straight up without pruning. They have then been pruned at the top creating a tuft of dividing branches. Weed the base of the hedge removing ivy and weeds. You may decide to invest in an attractive shrub to draw eyes attention to it and away from the hedge. Add general fertiliser to the base of the hedge and make an effort to water well as you start to read up on the internet about pruning. Then in late summer (less chance of scorching weather) put your new found skills to use and prune the hedge to establish a framework for future growth. What would be even more fantastic would be to use the hedge as the focus for chatting to your neighbour about their side- they may share your concerns and be keen to half the workload also you may find having them outside their front door is less of an issue for you!
