How to brighten up an ex-council house
Comments (28)If you're working on a tight budget, how about some little things now so it looks cheery to come home to while you decide what to spend your money on? You could get some colour out there with some pots, or hanging baskets maybe, without breaking the bank. What about some climbers? I lived in a house very like this as a kid, and my mum always had pots and baskets and honeysuckle on a trellis by the door (painted bright coral...), so it was always a riot of colour and really cheerful.

Comments (3)Ah I thought I should wait until we know we have secured the house first before I posted a house photo!

If it is a good rental proposition you will likely need two bathrooms, if it is for an older person then you probably need to make it low maintenance including the garden, if it is for a family you likely need to increase both the bedrooms and the living accommodation....See MoreEx-council house, drab exterior - how to modernise?
Comments (1)Painting the brickwork white would work well with the other properties and the top cladding being black. Can you remove some of the outside tiles to add soft landscaping? I would remove at least 2 rows of the path around the house and plant lots of evergreen shrubs which would make the whole area much more inviting....See MoreG Arnold
