The thick roof fascia looks great.

7 years ago

What material did you use to surface the thick roof fascia (both grey and white)? Is it aluminum and if so was it custom made for the depth?

Hi, If you use an iPad you could download the free Dulux Visualizer app to look at different colours - it's quick and easy (but lighting conditions have to be good) For a cost effective transformation I would have to agree with you and most of the comments by painting the Front door, garage doors and windows of the house. (Use a good primer/undercoat like Zinsser external - shellac or oil based) I would advise all matching colours for a uniform country home feel. The olive green or light green looks nice. For the driveway you could go resin bound which is available in a variety of colours now and lasts much longer than Tarmac with far greater osmosis. Again adding the private home country estate feel at a reasonable price. Rendering comes in various colours (although it is costly) if within your budget will totally transform the look and feel adding to the thermal insulation. And most definitely some easy care, low maintenance plants and planters... You don't have to spend mega bucks! Although probably a good time for discounted evergreens? Good luck Edward eDECO

peggysue67 Yes the views are very nice, trees and open countryside, the odd sheep dotted about! Good thought on window size, and blinds which I also like. I thought about glazing the whole area between patio doors and master bedroom above but I am trying to keep costs down really. Thanks for your input :)

If I was going to do just one thing I would replace the stepping stones with a decent sized path. I favour long narrow slabs embedded in gravel with an edging to contain the gravel. Or just butted and staggered slabs if you don’t mind the additional maintenance with a staggered edge against grass. Plants do a better job than fences in making boundaries disappear. Climbers won’t take up so much room. Evergreen climbers on the garden building will give all year round interest and soften the brick surface. It isn’t well known but the evergreen Euonymus fortunei will climb, if given a little help, if planted up against a wall. Slow to get going but will thrive in sun and shade and is as tough as old boots. Silver queen has green leaves edged with white which brightens a shady corner. You can grow other plants through it and in front of it. I think a pergola is preferable to an awning. The honeysuckle Lonicera hehryi is evergreen and will grow in sun and shade but I don’t believe it is scented. There are scented honeysuckles and roses that will be pleasant to sit under. A green roof controls the temperature in a building. Great to look at from upper windows but it can be pricy. Sedum is commonly used. You say you don’t want a patio at the rear of the house but I would at least consider a path along the wall outside the doors. Set it away from the house to make room for plants. Would you consider moving the shed to the rear fence? Whilst allowing for access you could plant a hedge in front and in front of that the reflective water feature already mentioned or just a reflective surface as a feature. It will throw light back into the garden and will give depth. An arbour with a bench might be nice here to enjoy the water.

Couldn’t afford stainless steel guttering and down pipes so settled for anthracite to match the windows and painted soffits etc to match. It cost a little bit more than black but we’re really pleased with the look of it.
