Thanks I like the idea of shutters. I didn't think I could have them because white shutters with the white cladding would have worked, but would be ok with different colour cladding. I love the sage green door, what colour cladding would work with it? In the garden I thought about moving the olive tree on the right into the middle of the two on the left and de clutter the rest of the border. Keep growing the hedge across the front. Take the bush out of the middle. Lawn the middle square, with a small feature bed somewhere.

Hi Heather, If it were me I would keep it all white, clean, modern / contemporary. Rather than clad in PVC check the woodwork and make any repairs as necessary then paint it white. Paint the eaves & facia board at the top white as well + new white guttering / down pipe. As PWJ says, check if planning is required. If you had some budget left consider plantation shutter to each room (inside) This is an interior feature that will add to the look of all rooms but what I always find is that it also adds to the external look of the house... Hope that helps, Martin www.angel-martin.com www.3dinteriorillustration.co.uk

Hey Saml1992, We did get the bradstone rendered, we went for K-Rend all over, including covering the existing render on the extension - and we couldnt be happier with the finish. We also decided to combine it with cement board cladding and it all came up a treat. I just took this photo (apologies its a bit gloomy here) so you can compare it to what it used to look like! The render and cement board has been up for 14 months now. (Still not finished the front steps though!)

Thank you so much that’s great!!! I will show my husband tonight. Yeah you might be right about not rendering. The other houses are all either this colour brick or a brown/red brick but the same style so I was worried about it standing out too much. Unfortunately the brick wouldn’t go that light though. Even when cleaned it’s very yellow with black flecks in it. I’ll try and attach a picture of the internal brick before we painted it. The conservatory will go as it’s leaking and quite old and I’d rather have some smart bifold doors leading onto a patio. It’s also brown so wouldn’t match the new glazing as we would either go with white grey or black. Here is a picture of the brick...
