well we just purchased this house and wasnt sure whether to extend or not to extend on the garage as many of the neighbours have plus as we want a garage we thought build a garage on the side. As for the front of the house we thought why not render the house? let me know what your thoughts are or would it look better to go half render?
This has been photoshop done - another bedroom on top of the garage and the two garages changed into a cinema room. Then the garage moved to the side...well probably build a flat roof.
this is how the house sits so far.

What colour render for rear of property with anthracite bi-fold doors?
Comments (8)Hi Patricia Suarez, Thanks for posting. Our bricks were re-used and the garden is quite small so some added light from the render would help. I have seen some projects with just the bricks but they tend to have big/long gardens and lots of light too. We don't have either -so def need the render and some extra light....See MoreExtending and can't match bricks.. shall we render the whole lot!??
Comments (24)If you can match the bricks do and then paint the window frames. Man About The House painted his (I think) UPVC windows a lovely sage green which would brighten the whole thing. He has posted some pics somewhere- it looks really lovely. Hopefully he can advise. I’ve totally copied his idea and the new windows are arriving in a couple of weeks. Can’t wait to see the difference it’ll make to our tired exterior!...See MoreExtend or not to Extend
Comments (7)Hello. Thank you for uploading your plan. I would recommend contacting a concept planner or designer to discuss your needs. We ask a lot of questions before hand around how the space is used, who by and when in order to work on our layouts. They allow us to determine the best way to use your space to fit what you’re trying to achieve. In our particular layout package we offer three options on layout (all in a 3D format) so you can truly see what’s achievable in the space you have. The loft is definitely a great option to look into but as mentioned above it’s mostly dependent on budget....See MoreTo Extend or Not to Extend?
Comments (2)I think most is echoing what Jonathan has said above. When we begin a project with clients there are some foundation questions we ask: What do you want out of the property? What is possible with the property? Can you afford it? I think you need to get some solid answers to these questions before you move on to the finer details. I would begin by getting a builder in to see what is possible and what the potential costs would be for the work. This may completely rule out having an extension at all and then you can focus on what you can do. Before he comes (Q1) I would have a list of what you really want out of the property - sides access important to you? Can you currently have the size of kitchen you want? Is a utility room important? Is the wow factor important? Another thing to always bear in mind is that furniture and fittings can be purchased or upgraded later, but getting the "layout" or the footprint you want now, is far more important (and adds value) so I would have this as your main goal. Getting that right - first time. Best of luck and if you have any further questions, please do get in touch. Thanks, Gina...See More
