I just purchased this home. Has no deck or patio with a detached garage. Needs a ton of work. Getting ideas on how to improve the appearance of the rear of the home. I'd like to enjoy the outdoors but this house needs help.

Need help on style of porch and front door!
Comments (103)Thanks so much everyone - this has been great. Sorry for the lack of response - been flat out!!!! It must be hard for you American guys to work on such old English designs.... The ideas have gradually culminated into what really would look good on the house. Ourfarmhouse - these are absolutely great ideas, and thanks Everything Beautiful for getting the jist and putting the ideas onto the house image - nothing like seeing an actual design on your own home. We've got an architech working on it, and he's keen on the iron-wrought idea... but we're not sure. Basically toss-up with this and Everything Beautiful's design (2 above). Going with a four-pannel door, but would like to incorporate some glass somewhere! Possibly a panel above with the house name engraved on it?? Victoria - absolutely right...! We don't need to sit outside with the weather.......... say no more! Just wanting something to cover yourself while you're unlocking the door. We've also done a tour of the local areas, and found a couple of porches - amazing what you find right on your doorstep! Will attach pics shortly......See MoreNeed help for the back half of a Victorian terrace double reception.

Comments (2)I hired a local carpenter to build a shed along our side passage. It's a somewhat odd shape - 1mx10m but it works well for storing bikes, paint, garden tools and all manner of other items. It has a door at both ends and so could technically still serve as a passage, but we don't use it as such....See MoreCurtains/blinds help for back doors help!
Comments (6)I've been thinking about different ways i could dress my sliding doors, and i'm thinking it might be nice to go for something quite interesting rather than purely practical. So you could get some hooks or door knobs/handles or something similar that you could screw in either side, and tie a nice thick rope going across. Then you could slot through a sheer or soft style curtain and tie up with some pretty ribbon. I couldn't quite find a photo to illustrate but this is sort of similar. Hope this helps!...See More
