So good to have everyone's input...thinking at this stage,to try to colour match the 'paperbark'coloured pergola roof with the main part of the roof .then a mid grey, in tone with domino(or even just domino) for fascias and barges. Our bricks have black highlights, so should work well. Then, a lightish grey like Surfmist under eaves(as suggested). And finally keeping domino posts.I did also like the look of the photos and the Magnolia house with timber features.

What do you plan to do with the roof? It’s a dominant part of the facade so it needs to feature in your colour selection. Sorry, I was asking the condition of the verandah/pergola roof? Does it need repair? And if it does, it would be a good opportunity to replace the iron with wooden posts.

Match whatever door/window is replacing the roller door to your existing black windows. Given you already have monument on the property I’d stick with that for the gutters. Once the gutters are done, have the roof cleaned - it may not need anything else done to it. I wouldn’t paint or render the bricks but I would invest in a landscaping plan. The garden is the major area that needs work and will give you the biggest return on investment.

The first picture you posted Amber -- I assume that is the 'sort-of' after -- the current look ? It still has the oxide red gutter , and that is the look I'd do -- a red gutter , red on the rail on the terrace , and I'd do the window sills ( not the other 3 sides ) in the red . With all the white / beige / greys it lacks that bit of colour IMO .
