We are buying a new-build on a development. There are two houses up for
grabs with 60 foot gardens.

One of the houses has a North facing garden and the other has a
North-East facing garden.

Which would you choose?

PS we are in South London.

Whichever you choose with a 60ft rear garden you will be able to have a
patio/sun trap in the sun, just have to be down the bottom of the garden
instead of near the house. However you must look at how the sun reaches the
garden, how many other buildings, trees, etc shade it. Check it at different
times of the day. If there is a sunny spot down the garden right now it will
be better in the summer when the sun is higher.
Our garden is NNE facing and much shorter than yours, it's not a problem,
you just have to choose the right plants for a bit of shade, or rather, lack
of direct sun. Some of the plants I grow would not like it any other way.
