Personally I think when houses are attached you have a responsibility to the rest of the street to have a cohesive look- it’s bad enough that people choose different window styles that fit uncomfortably with the house but then adding a change to the palate of colours devalues the road in my opinion- the other issue is that when people personalise houses it green lights neighbours to do whatever they like and it ruins the road. So I vote white windows- you might consider just replacing the glass which would be a lot cheaper than starting again. The earlier comment about the garden is spot in- this will have a bigger impact on the curb appeal.

I agree with the above. Is it your preference not to be too different or is it actually a rule for your house/area? "in keeping" is a very subjective term. A house is in keeping as long as some elements like size, proportion, colour, material are reflected elsewhere. I would say your houses are not "in keeping" but identical. I agree with @Barbara in that if you make a big change that looks beautiful other neighbours will follow suit.

Hi Martha, I live in a similar age cottage - 1909 - and am in the process of replacing all the windows and doors with timber Georgian frames. They are replacing pvc windows with pvc crisscross internal strips that are supposed to mimick Georgian bars but just looked too artificial in a house this old. I’ve attached a couple of pics of the timber windows. It is expensive to use timber but in my opinion worth it. You can also get pvc Georgian bars that are on the outside of windows, instead of the pvc strips that are inserted in the window pane, so they would look more like the ones in the pics.
