Thank you all very much for the ideas - very helpful. I'm also thinking of putting an extra parking space to the left of the garage - dark grey granite chippings with a granite sett path leading to the front door, so a more neutral colour than the blues and reds I was originally thinking off would work well I think - thanks again.

I think thats a really good solution. The simpler the palette the less fussy a house looks. Too many colours and materials do not lead to a cohesive result. It's your house it should be your taste. It's always good to get a few opinions though in case you have missed something obvious or someone else has a brilliant idea with the benefit of detachment and previous experience.

Hi, We don't have any photos to show but just a point to note if you eventually decide on matchings door to windows, it would need to be an exact match otherwise it may look a bit odd. Contrasting colours may be worth considering such as subtle dark blues or greens or alternatively, adding a pop of colour to make the front door stand out. Hope this helps.

I can see the value in keeping your house similar to your neighbours as it is a semi or end of terrace. Our neighbours in an Edwardian semi once changed their window coverings to shutters to match our side. It did look very cohesive. Jonathan is correct the windows do disappear against the brick but I think it depends on the look you are trying to achieve. Modern alu windows are mostly that dark grey so have they just painted their frames or are they a different material? I love dark grey but not everybody does. Another good point of Jonathan's is more opening sections. For that size window I would expect an opening section on the opposite side. Think about the colours you like in the green/grey spectrum for the windows but maybe leave them for last. If cladding is in decent condition it could be sanded and repainted. If not there are so many alternatives to brick to choose from. Do a deep dive on Houzz into mid century facades or try looking at the Modern House for kerb appeal inspiration.
