I would suggest looking at what has worked on other pairs of similar houses. Our architect pushed render and black windows for our 1970s house but we used Rightmove to find some roads with similar houses and went along each road deciding which alterations we liked (we eventually just went for upgraded quality windows and very little change in style). Just see what others have done and what you think looks good. My gut feeling is to render the porch (to match existing) but leave the wall adjoining the neighbour untouched and leave windows white. Our house has the same roof tiles as yours and we found some redland flat tiles in a similar colour for around the new dormer/bay areas so they tie in with the roof but lose the chunkiness. But it’s your house and your taste and these contributions should be “food for thought” not instructions!

It depends on what sort of 'feel' you like. I like quite neutral spaces with lots of texture so stoney colours, natural leather feels very relaxed to me. Little Greene have some new colour cards out with 'Stone' colours on, all sorted in warms to cools, it may be worth ordering one. They do light and dark versions of each colour so you could select specific ones for each room. They also specify 'accent' colours for the odd wall so all round a good choice.

What to do with cedar ceilings

The wood ceilings are unusual and give your house character. I’d want to be very sure before removing them. Looking at the photos (which may be deceptive, you’re the best judge of that) it looks like the wood has a sheen/varnish. Personally I’m not a fan of this - I think they would look much better with a matte finish. I would also consider staining them to mitigate the yellow tint. Or, if you have the height and budget, you could break the continuity by introducing black beams to add more interest up there. There’s an example of black beams on this page https://www.digsdigs.com/wooden-ceiling-ideas/ Having said that, I would start by reducing the size of the fireplace, which looks overwhelming and dated. Whether you want to keep it in red brick, or give it a more modern look by painting the brick in white or black, is up to you. Personally I’d go black, but it’s a matter of personal taste. It would make the ceilings even more impactful and would be a good background to your furniture and art. I would also definitely change the curtains to some that touch the floor - the current ones are too short and that’s immediately what the eye is drawn to. They need to gently kiss the floor.

Colours look a lot lighter on the outside of a property to the inside. It depends on how much contrast you want and how traditional you want it to look. Cool greys can look urban but crisp, yellow greys (such as Light grey 17) look quite Cotswold, natural and lovely with stone. I like Little Greene Colours best, they seem to have some 'gaps' that F&B don't do. For example, Slaked Lime by Little Greene is a yellow grey, but muted enough to not to too colourful, I would be tempted to start there and use it as a benchmark for other colours.
