I have had a privet hedge surrounding the house for a number of years and suddenly a portion of it has died off and it looks as though it is continuing further any suggestions

This is typical of honey fungus attack.
Check the RHS website about this problem. I had a problem and I took out all the privet up to 1.5m either side of the dead ones.

thankyou did you go on to replant privet in the same place

no as privet is susceptible to infection. I have blackthorn/hawthorn and another that I cant remember instead making a mixed hedge in that section. The RHS has a list of resistant plants that can be grown in the same spot.
