Exterior update

9 years ago

Any ideas on how to update the exterior? Would new windows be sufficient or should we consider cladding? Any ideas on cost of latter

This is what the exterior looks like so far. We have been approved planning permission to extend single storey, front and side With sky lantern. we are set on a flat roof with wildflower and sedum. Considering keeping the tiles. front door will be moved forward and there will be a window on the left. Not sure what the new render should be for the extension? Brick ? Trying to keep all costs down but Still have a Clean and contemporary finish...... I realise now I should have been braver with the windows! Tut tut!!!

Thank you everyone. And if you all say it is an improvement, then I am sure will get used to it with time. Forza Italia and Emily, I know I do need some greenery around but I must confess am not green fingered at all and so is my husband. I have always loved seeing topiaries and mini conifers, maybe I could do artificial ones? Also fancy tall planters either side of front step kind of thing, what do you guys think?

There is always a difficulty with semi's as too much change can make it look weird, but you're only linked through the garage so I think you've got some leeway. You could add a small roof over the front door, although I think it would look much better if you added a whole timber built porch and tied it into the roof. You could have it in white to match the windows, or plain wood and reclad the first floor in matching timber, maybe natural edged? Or you could paint it all the same. I think there are a number of things you could do to update it and add a bit without changing it too much as the base is sound if bland. You could also add some nice clipped bushes in pots, they always add to a front.

E D, not really, hahaha! I simply used what was there. The brickwork and the color are off, rosemonde's sleek square bay windows would look a LOT nicer. The front door and the windows next to it are way too cottage-y. And the slope on the little roof on the right should be steeper, so it lines up better with the balcony side of the house. But I do like the bones of it, so to speak.
