I have a similar stonework around my home and want to draw out the warmer tones. I like this color combo!

It was a custom color match to the Marvin clad window color "Coconut Cream". I hope that helps!

Thank you. Darn— I was hoping it was Ben Moore. But…you created a beautiful home!

Exterior Paint Colour

I don't know about colours. My suggestion (if you are going to paint two colours) is to paint the area below the trim under the large window the same colour as the rest of that wall. Paint only the recessed area of the front entrance and main floor window a different colour. It'll look more dramatic and clean if the second colour is only in the recessed area and doesn't spread to the other wall.

Peeling paint, possible damp?

The plaster underneath the paint won't be dry otherwise this paint would not be bubbling like this. Don't cover it up with paneling as this could cause additional work later. If it were mine I would try to identify the source and see if it could be easily removed- you show just one area on your pictures, assuming other parts of the house are not affected concentrate on trying to identify the cause there as the solution may not be as expensive as replacing all the render- it could be that the garden level and soil are too high outside the window and need digging out, it may be that the window cill does not protrude enough and collected rainwater is running down this part of the house. It might be a faulty gutter and rainwater is washing down the house rather than being piped away, there could be a leaking pipe washing water down the outside, or there could be a blocked drain outside the window and therefore standing water, or the render could have been cracked and a repair could be inexpensive compared to full replacement. It might still be rising damp but check it's not something else first. Eventually you will have to have the plaster off inside and the wall injected and replastered and the skirting and floor replaced. You should check at that time the water hasn't rotted joists but until you can afford that you can regularly scrape of the paint and repaint with an oil based paint which will still likely cost less than the wood paneling.

I think it depends on how far you are going with the renovation. If you are remodeling inside you should check you are happy with the position of the windows. If you are then mindful to change the location of the windows you might change the shape of the wide picture windows as these probably are the thing that roots this house in the 70's. With some deeper less wide windows this house could be transformed. In the U.K. changes to the facade require permission so you must also check what is possible.

Love the green. I had a similar era house but this one is was in Australia. If it's not too dissimilar, I found in my research they loved to paint up the details. And the colour schemes had up to 4 colours. I'd find that the windows would be a different colour than the window frames and so on. I don't think anyone needs to follow the original schemes but often they can look great on these houses. Anyways, that traditional dark warm cream, heading towards brown that they loved might be nice for render or timbers. Some thing like York White or Bathstone Beige by Dulux. And a limed white for the other trims. https://www.designerpaint.com/products/dulux-heritage/bathstone-beige/61614
