I agree, new front door, and some planting. The main problem is that everything is unrelieved red-brown! walls, windows, door, drive. Except the garage door, which then looks like a mistake! This is a common problem. You need to break up the brown. Render or cladding is probably overkill, there are more subtle solutions. Please don't put in an oak or stained timber door. It might look great in its own right, but will just be changing one brown for another! A painted timber (or composite) door would be best, with the garage door painted to match. Choose a shade of grey or green, avoid red and purple, as you need a good contrast to the brick. Ideally change the windows to cream, or grey-green, but if not, try the shutters. They are a bit 1960s, but might actually suit the style of this house! Painted to match the doors. Consider taking up some small areas of paving near the house to allow planting to create a break between the brick drive and the brick house!

We’ve lived in this house for years and have never touched the outside! Please can you give me some ideas, particularly regarding the porch area. I have no idea what to, I think just some sort of canopy over the front door but no clue on styles or designs. Door and windows will remain. Any suggestions gratefully received, thanks.

Unless you particularly like the desaturated look of all greys, my instinct would be to go with a more natural shade of oak for the flooring. https://www.howdens.com/joinery/floors/flooring/vinyl-flooring/quick-step-livyn-single-plank-natural-oak-luxury-vinyl-flooring-2105m-pack-sdh3680 Possibly even this; https://www.howdens.com/joinery/floors/flooring/vinyl-flooring/quick-step-livyn-single-plank-dark-brown-oak-luxury-vinyl-flooring-2105m-pack-sdh3684 for more contrast. The shelves are fine in whitewash, painting them may make the room feel smaller. Its better to let your items on display be the focus, than the shelves themselves. The darker bifold look more modern, and add extra dimension to the space. Depending on where the other window is, and how out of place it may look from the outside, you could replace it to go with the doors, or have the internal frame painted to match.

The width of your extractor should be at least as wide as your hob, with electric hobs and especially induction its recommended to go up to 1.5 times wider [but not very practical in reality]. The extraction rate [power of the extractor] does vary and is measured in cubic meters per hour and ideally your extractor can perform 10 air exchanges per hour. To measure the size of extractor required you calculate the volume of your kitchen, ie width x length x height and multiply by 10 and this is the minimum extraction rate of the extractor you need. Also to extract efficiently, you need to duct to outside and in as wide a duct as possible [5 inch minimum] in as short a run possible with a minimum of bends. If you cook quite strong foods, a recirculating extractor won't be suitable. As @Sonia has said, do a search on ao.com, you can filter down the size, style, in stock, price etc in your search. Once you find a few models you like, do a google search to see if any other suppliers have these cheaper [ao would price match].
