I have had lots of nice comments on my house. Thanks everyone. I would add that I love the 1970's houses the big windows and open concept groovy style. However, the technology to pull it off wasn't quite there when they were built. If you are updating a 1970's house think about how you can introduce more insulation. I did the following: - internally insulated external walls with 10cm of wool. - insulated between floors (keeps things warm and prevents sound) - installed triple glazing and insulated behind the cladding. My heating bills are now minimal

Thank you guys for your advice took it on bored. Gonna paint the bay eventually called rock salt creamy with slight bit of grey. The windows look so much better. Then think the drive needs to be on the list after someone had an accident with the wall.

A picture of your home would help us better understand the context and style, which can greatly influence the best colour choice for your uPVC windows. Typically, neutral tones like white, grey, or black work well with most exteriors, while bolder colours can add a distinctive character depending on your home's aesthetic.

I also like the colour of the windows upstairs, they look better with the roof and driveway. I think your black front door looks smart but navy would also look good. As you planning to power wash your front steps and the pillar at the side of your drive? I think the brick around the front door is lovely and I wouldn’t be hiding it with climbers, just fill the space with mid and low height planting.
