Curb appeal needed!
Comments (7)I would - - Clean the bricks, or paint them white or cream; - Remove the slate from the facade (replace with render if needed); - Remove the plastic bars from inside the windows; - Install a minimalist, dark green or teal front door with a translucent glass side panel; - Plant short, smart trees where you currently have bushes (or rose bushes would look lovely); - Paint the grey concrete patch on the front; - Replace the brick paving and steps with patterned tiles; - Add in some potted plants and phased lighting....See MoreHelp with exterior of house, facade needs more curb appeal!
Comments (24)I think you need to weigh up if there is a profit benefit by building a front gable.

Comments (11)Thank you for the pictures! I have seen similar transformations and was considering rendering before posting in this discussion. My conern is that the house is semi detached so not sure if it would look a bit odd having one half rendered and one half not. It is also very one dimensional compared to your examples, not sure whether this makes much of a difference. Maybe changing the windows to a different colour after rendering could give it a bit more definition. We are also first time buyers and don’t intend on living in the house forever so don’t want to do anything too over the top and costly but also don’t want to live in an ugly house....See MoreHelp.. curb appeal needed
