After a lot of opinions I will be keeping the bricks exposed. However the front right room will be bought forward with the porch so I just need to see how this will work in regards to the bricks. Could you show me a pic for stone render you mean as we have seen a “champagne” colour render. Architects drawing I don’t have on me at the minute but because the right side will need a roof this roof will go across to porch. Il post a pic if I find it.

Your front door looks quite green-grey on my screen. Otherwise the window frame in the picture you posted with smaller photos on the bottom (I can’t crop like OnePlan) - far right photo that’s barely visible - window under the gable end.

My sister changed hers to grey (anthracite?) and she has a honey yellow brick like yours and it looks good. A house opposite to Her has gone with sage green and that looks good too. Black looks very effective with industrial style buildings, but I wonder if it’s too near a shade to the rosewood? It does look amazing though! I’ve found a few pics on Pinterest for you. I must admit my favourite is the first green one 😊

I actually really like it as it is. It's one of those situations where you could regret chaining it so it needs some serious thought. If the windows are in really good condition then are you planning on just planting them or totally replacing them? White or even off white windows I feel work less well than the colour you have now. If you were to change both then you could go for a very pale stone coloured render with slightly darker windows. I have seen this on lots of similar houses in Essex villages not far from here. Personally I love a dirty pinky brown on houses like this, which would also work with your current window colour.
