Problem with these 60s houses is the bricks are ghastly... very little work arounds to that other than external insulate and render. Claddding always poses an issue of longevity and fading of timber (looks good when installed and a cause of regret when it fades). We have recently used a weatherboard on deveopments in London and it looks great, is long lasting and available in a range of colours to suit everyones preference. https://www.marleyeternit.co.uk/Facades/Weatherboard/Cedral-Click.aspx

In my opinion the wide picture window root this house in the 60s. I would make the windows less wide and likely make one deeper too. I would render a crisp white and then add timber cladding to match the garage door- the placement of this cladding is down to personal taste- you could add a window width strip under the far left window which would balance the garage doors. Personally I would like to see a door sized wood cladding section to the left of the front door as I think this would give the door more prominence.

Very marginal for me. I think I'd go with vertical as I find the horizontal boards under the overhang a bit busy, it also goes with the doors and windows but contrasts with the stone. I do however like the horizontal lines next to the door as the door doesn't stand out quite so much to me with the vertical planks :)
