There isn't an easy way of doing it, but you can use Streetview to
give you the information, if it's available for your street. Find the
closest Streetview panorama; get the location of the adjacent panorama
and calculate its bearing. I do something similar with
http://www.acleach.me.uk/gmaps/streetview-infow2.htm so that the
Streetview shown is always perpendicular to the street -- I calculate
the angle and then subtract 90 degrees to look at the adjacent
buildings face-on. [Go to that url, enter your coordinates and then
click the marker presented]

If you don't have Streetview available, you would have to use
directions and find the angle to the first route vertex. That means
you need to know where to go *to* from your start point, and wait for
directions to be calculated and returned.
