I think it's very difficult for us to give really useful, accurate advice @rachelQrtJHBjb. With the best will in the world, without photos, it's near impossible, and - as you say, it would be useful to know what needed screening
I wouldn't necessarily want hefty evergreens too near a house, but I think there was a mistake re the distance, and it's 10 metres, not 4, which changes it considerably
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
If screening is the idea, then you could try Pittosporum tenuifolium, providing the dite isn’t too windy. They can eventually form small trees. To keep the light indoors, you could try a variegated form?
