what is the external cladding made out of?

last year

I’m looking to change the external appearance of a house I’m in the process of buying which is currently ugly. I’m looking for something stylish and contemporary.
I will need an architect in due course. I’m based in London.

Oh, Rachelle, I'm so sorry, after all your research and planning and bravery!! Well, there's is nothing wrong with cream, but I completely understand how you wanted to climb out of that box of one colored crayons, lol. It is what it is, I do hope that you'll be able to build your pergola and I also hope you can introduce a bit of color with your door, this color is from sherwin Williams, it's SW 6480 lagoon, it would be beautiful with a cream house color and a terracotta roof. Good luck, and I'd love to see your final result, please post a picture at the end of project. And I'm glad you're upbeat and looking at the "sunny side" :)

I would not render or put any cladding up just spruce up what is there. I would paint the stone coins and window ledges so that they look pristine then unify the window frames by painting all the same colour. I would paint the lower ones white as I think white looks smarter against red brick. I would paint the wood door- again a lighter colour looks smart against red brick although this can soon look dirty in an urban area- perhaps a taupe/ grey would be forgiving. Lastly I would put expensive looking chrome door furniture on the entrance with a modern sign at eye level.

Is there a particular reason why you want to further insulate a cavity wall insulated house. I notice the EPC is C rated, so that's quite good on a house of that age. I don't know of any reason however, why you can't further insulate with External Insulation on a Cavity Wall. So, if that's what you want then go for it. However, I'd probably go for the professionals also, not least of which, because you need scaffolding all around to do the job properly.

I think the long stairs window suits this house and personally I would change the proportions of the window to the left of the front door.... as you now seem to have done. I’m not sure that a living roof suits the front of this house and I would rather see a plain and modern flat roof. However softening the frontage with planting could look super
