I cannot see this. To me there is a sequence road, lawn, footway, identical lawn, house, and no indication where a potential boundary between private and public would be located. I’m pretty sure the building is private though ;-)

do you? Because this is the “typical” situation, or are there more hints?

that’s a sad law, in Germany it’s the opposite: you may assume you can be everywhere unless you have reason to believe it is forbidden.
