Shape of House and Front Wall

[myfs_140295]

Dear Cecil,
We looking at a Period 8 - DUI (E1) house, which is the best house direction for our breadwinner (according to the Good House Hunting report). There are a few things about this house whichconcern us, and we are wondering if these are major or minor problems.
Please see aerial view of house per link below, and diagram of house attached.

1) This house is on the edge ofa gated community, thus there is a wall on the other side of the street (facing the front door). The street is on lower land than the house, thus the entrance leading into the main door is sloping up into the house.
2. The house has a 2-story covered (roofed) walkway leading into a 2-story casita. The lower level of the casita is accessed by going outside the back door, while the 2nd story is accessed by a door on the 2nd story of the house (near the bedrooms). Would this be considered a L-shape house (if excluding the walkway and casita) or a U-shape house (if including the walkwayor casita)? Also, if it can be considered an L-shape house, then can this still be a favorable house?
Thank youso muchfor your help and for having this forum!
Sincerely,
Gwen

1. For Can or Cannot buy; often, someone will ask me "Is this house favourable (to me?)?
2. In my opinion; such a question is like trying to throw stones and hope that it hits something.
3. Realistically; in order to make a judgement; often the proper question(s) are:-
3.1. How is this house compared to my existing home? and/OR
3.2. How is this house compared to house A, B and C.
3.3. Thus, how to compare a MONO (single) home with (what)?
4. Thanks for the sketch. VERY ROUGHLY, it seems that it should either be a U-shape house. Of course, without say photos; Can't really tell whether it is a proper U or L shape.
4.1 As some walkways have openings while others don't have. If it has openings, then air could flow thru..
4.2 Thus, maybe in this case, it could be a L shaped home. Whatever it is, U or L shaped homes ranked LOW under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui (if we set aside the Flying Star - another set of considerations).

Further to what I had mentioned:
Given that many of us have a "freedom" of choice:-
1. Not one but many different houses
2. If possible; try to avoid (if possible) avoid choices that looks like a U or L.
