What you describe sounds like he is demonstrating stalking behavior. I would keep a journal of every time he walks by your house noting the day and time. If you are able to show a pattern, and that he passes your house not out of necessity, or an excessive amount of time, given your history with him, this might be enough to get a restraining order.
In my state, there are laws to protect individuals from stalking. I do not know what the laws are in the U.K. regarding this issue. I think that you have every right to feel the way that you do, and no one should tell you to "get over it". Hopefully under U.K. law, once you demonstrate that he seems to be doing this in a harassing manner, you will be able to get some sort of restraining order. I also think that you should make a police report weekly detailing the number of times he passes by, the times of day etc. It will lay a foundation for hopefully getting a restraining order.
