Any advice welcome

I don't think the house needs any more improvement. I personally wouldn't touch the brick, they add warmth and having grey render all over could make it feel a little soulless and presumably not tie in with your neighbour. I think the garden and path needs attention. I would use large pavers as shown in pics, starting from where the path is now to a diagonal line to the front door. I'd plant up where the wheelie bin is. I think a tree of sorts, as long as the roots aren't too big, would work with a contemporary wall light (excuse the artificial palm used!).

This looks very familiar? Have you posted this question before?

Celery Girl kindly did lots of different alternatives last time you posted. Were there any that you liked?
Perhaps if you screen shot and posted the one that was the nearest match to what you think you want and go from there?

Good afternoon Lucy are you looking at the 2nd storey clad in the picture you have posted. as this looks similar to a cedar clad detail. see link to one of our builds attached although its more of a brown/orange tint rather than yellow. Cedar Clad failing that you could use a timber product like Accoya and stain it which ever colour you like Hope thats of some help Tom Roscoes Building Company

Stop making me blush ;-) I like the more taupe ones too. They go better with the colour of your roof, I think. And I really like the Iron Grey one. Victoria's house looks beautiful! And just because I had your house open in Photoshop anyway, I've also tried Cobblestone.

Not sure if i need to start a new post but i have booled the decorator to come to paint all the fascias, soffits, guttering, downpipes and garage doors for now. But what colours? From pica attached you cam see we currently have an awful pale blue underneath. Would u do this again with the very dark charcoal colour which we are going to do our garage doors? Or would u keep it all white? Or would u paint the gutters and downpipes in the charcoal... or keep them white? Advise pls

I think your house is lovely - I really like the existing pale bricks and hanging tiles. I’m helping my daughter house hunt and she has just rejected looking at a 70s house that’s had hanging tiles replaced with wood as it just looked odd against the adjacent houses and she was concerned about maintenance. But I know that many people do prefer the wood cladding so it’s a matter of taste.

This is the link to the old post https://www.houzz.co.uk/discussions/5656204/help-with-ugly-1960s-house

I think that now you've had new white windows, i'd carry on with the pale grey render.

You could keep the white claddng, which looks fine, it is after all how these houses look. If you want to go further, (and please be mindful of how much these things cost versus adding any value ), you could go for a dark grey cladding. I would also put in a bin store near the front door and remove the bin from under the lounge window. I personally above everything else would hard landscape the front area, as the path has seen better days.

You are welcome. I like the colour of the render as is, I wouldn't paint it stark white. It softens the building as it is.
