However, now the property next door has become home to a ''single mum, living with her mum'', as well as a child.
According to the frustrated woman, who's also managed to take a snap of the neighbours peeking from their windows, they spend ''every evening staring at us and looking over when sitting with hubby quietly to a drink''.
Although the TikToker has allegedly ''reported'' the ''annoying'' issue, the nuisance hasn't stopped.
The furious woman also added that she's tried knocking on their door to see what the issue is - however, she doesn't want to cause any further problems for herself.
Budda Love explained: ''I would love to knock on her door but I don't wanna get done for harassment.
''I do shout out every time when I catch them! Madness.
''Life was great until she moved in.''
It's not just windows that the family take a sneak peek through - according to the social media users, the neighbours have now also started looking over the fence by standing ''on something'' for a better view.
''We started doing rituals against them so they watch a better show,'' she chuckled in a recent video.
But while some suggested buying a pergola or planting trees, the woman revealed that she's come up with a new solution - and one that means she can sunbathe in peace.
Kate Lawler locked in bitter row with neighbour after controversial move - whose side are YOU on-
To block their view as much as possible, Budda Love has since resorted to 'wasting' her bed sheets - which she's set up as a DIY tent.
Fuming, she said: ''F****g sad, nosy neighbours. Wasted my clean sheets.''
How to create privacy in your garden
CREATING privacy in your garden can be achieved in a number of ways depending on your budget, and the size of your space. Here are some effective ways to enhance privacy in your garden:
1. Fencing Install a tall, solid wooden or vinyl fence. This is one of the most straightforward ways to gain immediate privacy. Or use lattice panels, trellis, or slatted fencing to add a decorative touch while still offering privacy.
2. Hedges and Plants Fast-growing evergreen shrubs or trees like Leylandii, Thuja, or Bamboo along the boundary of your garden can help with privacy. Grow a dense hedge using plants like Boxwood, Privet, or Laurel. It may take time to grow, but it provides a natural and green privacy screen. Use climbers like Ivy, Clematis, or Wisteria on fences or trellises to create a lush, green privacy barrier.
3. Outdoor Curtains Hang outdoor curtains around pergolas, gazebos, or patios for an easy-to-adjust privacy solution.
4. Sound Barriers A water fountain or small waterfall can help drown out noise, adding to the sense of privacy. Or install fencing designed to reduce noise if privacy from sound is also a concern.
Social media users react
The video - which many said they could relate to - has since taken the platform by storm, amassing close to a whopping 300k views and 294k likes in just two days.
More than 130 people also flooded to comments, where many suggested their solutions - some more hilarious and bizarre than others.
One joked: ''You should take the sheets away, turn your chairs round to face them....and sit there and watch them watching you all evening.''
Another chimed in: ''I can relate!''
Someone else chuckled: ''you should start doing random things in your back garden like wear black robes with a hood and start doing pretend satanic rituals with candles and freak them out lol.''
A fourth advised: ''get rid of the concrete, plant some trees nobody overlooks you then.''

Unlikely couple offer to hold new baby before mum realises who they really are
The couple were branded the 'kindest souls' after a video showed them holding and playing with the baby on board a Royal Caribbean cruise ship, giving the mum a few minutes to herself A mother was pleasantly surprised when two "kind souls" on a new Royal Caribbean cruise ship offered to help her with her baby, only to discover who they were. American singer and dancer Jojo Siwa and reality star Chris Hughes first crossed paths in the Celebrity Big Brother house earlier this year, initially claiming to be just good friends before later confirming their relationship. Their age difference has sparked controversy, with 32-year-old Chris being a decade older than Jojo, who celebrated her 22nd birthday in May. Jojo, who previously identified as lesbian and queer, surprised fans with her relationship with a man. However, recently, the couple seemed blissfully happy as they enjoyed their time aboard the expansive Star of the Seas cruise ship, spending time with an adorable baby girl. In a video shared on TikTok by the baby's mum, Dance Moms star Jojo can be seen gently patting the baby's back as she cuddles her. The video then switches to Chris holding the child, with both he and Jojo entertaining her by making silly faces. Mum Rach Sullivan overlaid text on the footage to provide more context. She wrote: "When kind souls offer to hold your baby so you can be hands-free for a moment and now your baby won't let you take her back." In the caption accompanying the clip, she wrote: "Rosie found some unexpected babysitters on the cruise." The video resonated with millions, racking up over 7.5 million views and more than 1,400 comments from individuals eager to voice their opinions. Jojo Siwa simply remarked: "Best friends forever." Chris Hughes commented: "She's gorgeous and so is Rosie, what a wonderful happy baby and family." One viewer shared: "Something my mum has always told me: 'Babies and animals can tell who actually loves them'." Another referenced Chris's time on Love Island, saying: "They've clearly never seen Chris with his baby Cash from Love Island." The official Royal Caribbean account posted: "Can't handle the cuteness overload." A different person noted: "The kind soul being Jojo Siwa and not a stranger omg lol," to which someone responded: "It's def a stranger to that baby." Yet another individual joked: "If Chris and Jojo announce they're having a baby in the next couple of months, we know who to blame." Another comment read: "Babies don't cuddle just anyone like that. She knows she's a kind soul." Someone else confessed: "Crying over Jojo Siwa holding a baby wasn't on my bingo card today." Finally, one person added: "I don't care what people say about JoJo Siwa. Anything I ever hear or see about her from a 'regular person' is that she is so kind and always makes time for her fans. I am so happy she's happy."

Couple slammed for 'embarrassing' gender reveal, as ‘self centred' dad-to-be ‘makes the whole thing about him'
The pair are expecting another daughter in a matter of weeks SHOW OFF Couple slammed for 'embarrassing' gender reveal, as 'self centred' dad-to-be 'makes the whole thing about him' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A COUPLE have been slammed for their "embarrassing" gender reveal, which centred almost entirely around the dad-to-be. A video of the big reveal was shared by fitness pro Shai Ross on his Instagram, but was changed to black and white at the last second to keep his and his wife's baby's gender a secret. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Shai has been slammed for taking centre stage in his baby's gender reveal Credit: 2 He flexed his muscles doing various moves, before concluding with a back somersault landing on a mat - which then exploded in pink smoke, signifying they're having a girl Credit: In the clip, a shirtless Shai was seen flexing his muscles as he lifted a huge weight bar above his head. He then bought it back down on the back of his neck and shoulders, before jumping onto a box and swinging the massive bar around his back. Once he'd done that, he prepared to do a back somersault. After getting himself ready for the daring move, Shai jumped into it, turning impressively in the air. As he landed, his feet hit a large mat on the floor, which then exploded with smoke and confetti. While they'd edited the video to conceal their baby's gender at first, the pair have since revealed they're having a baby girl - so the smoke and confetti were pink. And despite their sheer joy over the gender reveal, the couple quickly found themselves targeted by people online, who questioned why Shai was virtually the only one seen in the video. His wife made a blink and you'll miss it appearance at the end of the clip, as she and Shai hugged. And the comments section of the Instagram post was immediately flooded with messages from angry viewers, with one writing: "This is so embarrassing!" "Why is something so special all about him and not the woman who's actually carrying the child?" another questioned.
