Here are the paint colors we used for that siding.

Zinc or copper, both of which are available in various permanent finishes, could be very effective. With good detailing, little if any maintenance should be needed. Natural durable timber cladding would be easier to trim to awkward junctions, but prone to going unevenly dark and streaky, needing maintenance to keep from looking scruffy.

The space under the house doesn't look to be that accessible, so I would block it in as Johnathan suggests, just leave an access hatch for inspection and clad in stone to match the existing stone work. For the exterior I would continue the cladding using a composite like fibrous cement or UPVC with good insulation underneath and finish in a dark colour. The steel poles appear to be supporting the ends of RSJs so they will need to stay, just paint and maintain them as they are holding up their end of the house.

Changes of fenestration such as changing the shape of the arched window will require planning approval so you should probably decide on everything you intend to do and then make an application. Designers, Architects and architectural technicians can all help here- I would expect them to be showing you in CAD how the house could look. How far you go depends on the available budget. In my opinion the house could benefit from swapping the current leaded light windows for something simpler. Your current windows are not very deep and and the fan lights exaggerate that so perhaps replacements without might be better....and these could look great in all the colours you suggested- personally I just like to see a contrast with the brick so would rather see a light colour choice with this brick. I would probably choose sage green. In my opinion the front door looks undersized next to the big arched window but painting the door and side panel the same colour will make it look bigger. Also I wonder if you are thinking about changing the arched window because it is sitting uncomfortably next to the window next door..... perhaps it is the window above the door that is wrong...... in fact if that is a bathroom and you could get away with a skylight instead I think I would rather leave the arched window and block up the one above the door. However for me the 1950s proportions of the windows slightly let down this house and the suggested full height windows of the garage conversion seem out of place too. If you have the money for a full facelift I would be looking for your CAD expert to show you how the house could look with different shaped window apertures- for instance the two windows to the left of the front door in my opinion would have more presence if they were deeper and fanlights would also work better then. The window above the front door seems too wide and too close to the corner and should relate more to the window next to it that is currently arched- perhaps get rid of this door above the front door or perhaps make it narrower. In my opinion continuing the garage roof towards the front door and building forward the ground floor window to the right of the front door would unify the garage extension with the main house and make it easier to choose a window style for the garage conversion as you would then likely choose three matching small windows. I might even consider making the window of the room over the garage a little narrower. However the room over the garage is a later addition and does illustrate that it is possible to match these bricks so using render to cover your changes may not be necessary and I agree that the brick and the climbing plants help make this a pretty and traditional looking house and unsympathetic changes could ruin that feel.

What type and treatment for exterior timber cladding
Q

I have a real dilemma choosing cladding for my extension. I only intend to clad a small area to break up the off-white render. I don't want orange coloured wood. I want to keep it as natural as possible but I'm not sure the fade to grey would suit the North facing aspect. Sustainability is important - not keen on too many chemicals - any ideas would be very welcome. Thank you
