Hey Jen, you know the method, you got to say what you’re going to use it for give us a floor plan tell us your future renovation plans, who lives there and what you had for breakfast!

hahahaha

Sorry forgot to mention I had pancakes for breakfast! It will be a dining room. Something like this would be more my taste, but we are keeping the structure as it is. Just wondering about new widows/doors/cladding/plants etc to update the look a little

Aha... so this isn't what you're looking for?

Wow that does look so much better! Maybe 2 new windows and a lick of paint for the doors is all that is needed :)

I just wondered if you add a fixed window about 80cm wide and as tall as will fit on the gable end and put a garden mirror on the garden wall you will end up with more light plus an illusion of a secret garden through the mirror. ?
Mmm, maple syrup with pancakes :)

Gave you new doors in anthracite...

Like these

What a great idea about the mirror thanks!

Are those corner bricks rounded off? I love them if they are?
And what you planning for rest of windows? Think that will affect what colour you change bi folds to, if you do change that is. :)

Yes they are to match the existing house-well spotted! One of the big reasons I decided to keep the extension as it is actually. The windows will remain white/won't be replaced. Not keen on white bifolds. Is anthrocite too much of a contrast though?

I quite like the anthracite doors.

I've cladded it too (ignore the wobbly roof line, did it quickly), because your initial idea was to go way more modern. But I like the brick with either anthracite or white doors best. Visuals do help, I think.

I think anthracite will be good. But I’m not usually a fan of windows and doors in white or the heritage colours unless they are old original ones or high end reproductions. But I know other people are and they can look good.

Check Mustard Architects for ides. I like charcoal painted brick.
