This all depends on your budget and what will be allowed by planning.
In my opinion it is the window proportions and the balcony that date this house so updating both won’t help- they need to be removed.
If your budget is healthy then consider building above the front reception room so that there is a front gable. Then continue the sloped roof of the garage over the front door.
Then the front of the house can be refaced- You need to choose something that compliments the streets scape but whatever you choose it gives you the opportunity to change the windows.
I think that you should find a local designer to help, consider your budget, speak to the local planning office to get an idea about what may be acceptable and look for inspiration locally and pictures online.

Thank you both. Unfortunately the door is uPVC so can't be painted ... Yes I can see that the path should be wider too - any suggestion for colour? Light grey or beige (don't like that word!)? Can anyone offer ideas for the garden - some kind of boundary and also planting?

I'm not sure I understand what is is that you want (probably just me)! Do you feel the whole room is too dark and want to repaint it or do you want to add more colour or something else? If the room is not naturally light then no other curtains will lighten it. Saturated colour can lift a poorly lit room in that it can add interest and make things cosy but not lighter. The warm mustard/yellow cushion catches my eye, that is the colour I would be going for if anything. It's a lovely room.

It is possible - have a look on YouTube to see how it's done. You'll have to compensate with the tile laying out. Don't do what my late mother did and cut smaller and smaller pieces to fit.

Aren't they inset into the glass though? It's too late for us 😔 We are getting an air con unit though. It's about £1200 and although it won't be used a huge amount (it's a heater as well) it will be half the price of getting proper blinds in and will be instant cooling as I think the room will still feel warm even with blinds. (we have two roof lights as well!) For living purposes it's never an issue - we just open the door but much harder to deal with with guests in.
