Improve kerb appeal of my house plans

I am converting my bungalow to a house. The plans have been approved and I'm wondering how I can maximise the kerb appeal. I'm planning for; Red roof tiles, k render top half of the house in polar white and red brick for the lower half. I then want windows that are Painswick / Agate grey (similar RAL colours are RAL7038 OR RAL7035).


The windows are all set at ceiling height so I can't raise them but I'd love to have one of these longer windows that you see on houses nowadays, (say about 40% longer than it is currently). I don't particularly need this but from the outside do you think this would improve the look of the house? If so which window should I make the longer one?


Any other ideas on how to improve the kerb appeal?


The colours that I am thinking of putting together will they work? Any suggestions are welcomed.


In terms of windows; I am thinking plain glass only, or a cross through each pane or 1 horizontal bar in the middle of each pane. What do you think?


What colour front door?


This is the front elevation



Below is a picture of a house that I like and could model ours on this basis, the only difference is I will have red bricks on the lower half of the house.



I would like something that is not ultra modern as I do not want to end up with a house that looks dated, but I do like the modern exteriors too!


Any ideas?


Thanks
