Agree with Lauren on this. Architecturally this property is crying out for regeneration/a face lift. You could easily enhance the facade treatment and no doubt daylight filtration into the interior spaces through introducing a range of materials/cladding/new openings. Perhaps it is worth looking at some conceptual design options initially and then opening up discussions with your local planning department. If you do not risk over capitalising then you could consider increasing the SQFT through extending upwards or inserting dormers! This may help you improve the internal accommodation. Hard to say without fully understanding the existing set up. I have worked on over 600 developments over the past 9 years and can certainly visualise a great end product here.

@Sonia thank you - would you also paint the boards at the top? It's so difficult to work with brown windows....

I prob need to explain why we are having the windows done black… basically out the back of the house we have french door which are being changed to Crittal doors which will be black. We also love black with the red brick. I absolutely hate the tiles like with a passion. We have added plants infront of the door pillars and new lights and a new door number. But our personal opinion is the extension looks like an add on. Therefore we might as well make it stand out some more. Like some people render it etc Here is a vision
