Can any one suggest a cost effective solution to smarten up the look of these 1951 built in cupboards?

If possible, i would recommend concealed hinges with a tip latch (no handle). A cabinet maker could do this, with new doors and it would be a good finish, or you could have a carpenter do it with some mdf doors that you'll need to paint. Carpenter will probably be cheaper, but youll have a higher quality finish with a cabinet maker. It is completely dependant on the framing behind the doors though.

I had this same issue with a clients old pantries. I found by opening up the whole face of the unit we were able to put in 2 sets of bifold doors with a new facia around the outside edge designed to house the bifold system. The new doors and frame were in MDF and painted. By opening the area up it allowed for easy access to storage and the ability to reshelve where required for customised storage areas. The onsite work was done by my installer and requires a high level of workmanship

I don't know why people want to invest in render. If money limited I would always first go with replacing Windows with energy efficient Windows which increase natural light and maximise views or garden trees from interior Plus I'd remove brick fence in front of door as houses where you can see front door always look so much more welcoming as upgrade of workers cottage on these latest dilemmas shows

We're happy with 3 bedrooms, but at least one of them larger, two living spaces. Expecting to build an extension either to the rear or side. Back of the house is north. We don't need drive through access, the shed is currently a rumpus room. Verandah is partly tin sheeting and partly shade cloth, it's ready to come down anyway.

Built in wardrobe - shelves or drawers?

It is one of those design elements that is almost best to spread out all of your and his clothes so you can see what will work best for you. I'd say he needs more shelves or drawers than you and that you might benefit from more hanging. Having decided that, look at the space in your robe: i would hate to have to go out of the robe to change your mind because you cannot get items out of drawers when you could easily grab it off a shelf. If it is all adjustable it is a boon too!! Cheers Margot
