Help giving the front of this house kerb appeal
Comments (11)Hello Sally, some good advice above and nice before and after pics from celerygirl. To give you an idea of what a part rendered, part timber clad 1970s house could look like, I've attached a before and after pic of a remodel we recently designed for a client (this was a 2-storey side extension, losing the garage and re-positioning the front entrance and internal layout). Decide upon whether you actually need a major change to your house, or just want something cosmetic to improve the way you feel about it. Re-positioning the front door, updating the windows/garage door and rendering/cladding might be enough? Whatever you decide to do, make it the right choice for your lifestyle needs and the best possible version you can afford. Good luck with whatever option you decide to take.

Comments (18)Whilst the black frames of your neighbours looks good, if you don’t want black, I would go for a mid grey on all window frames and doors front and back, including the garage door. This will look good in between your neighbours properties. If budget allows I would recommend replacing the front door as it’s dated as far as kerb appeal goes. Try a contemporary door with some glazing, in the same grey as the windows etc. Then add plenty of colourful pot plants, as others have mentioned, as much greenery as you can fit in. If you can replace the roof at the rear porch area that would be worth doing, or a damn good cleaning if not and then I would create some interest in the back garden with planting trees and shrubs within the garden space, not just down the sides of the lawn, diverting your eye to various places and giving you some privacy from the road at the same time. Have a look at some garden plan ideas on Houzz for inspiration, or speak to a pro garden designer, it can actually save you money paying for a garden plan, it stops you making costly mistakes. Try https://www.alisonmurraydesign.com/ she is brilliant. With a plan you can choose to do the garden a bit at a time, when funding allows, which is what I will be doing once Alison has put our design plan together!...See MoreAdvice and ideas needed on how to add curb appeal
Comments (7)Thanks guys - love these landscaping ideas! Will also look into replacing the window - I think we are going to convert the garage so at the least we can consider this for the new windows we install here. It is kind of in the countryside - Chislehurst in Kent - so kind of in between but definitely not rural! My husband and I mocked up an idea of what we had been thinking before your suggestions ... see attached... what do you guys think? forgive my crap photoshop skills,......See MoreFront of house appeal
Comments (6)Ah, thought it didn't look European, It could very easily be adjusted into a plantation style house. Depends if you want it to be kept in a classical style or be aggressively modernised, Also depends on how much you want to do to it....See MoreJessica Leng
