Exterior Modernisation of 1960's Brick Veneer

Hi everybody,


Looking for some advice as to what I could do to update the exterior of my 1960's triple fronted brick veneer.


I have a planning permit to build a unit at the rear, which I plan on having built early next year. At that time I will be taking down the garage, tearing up the driveway, and replacing the fence.


Keen to get some ideas as to how I might go about modernising/updating the exterior of the house though so that it better fits with the build that will go on the rear. My initial thoughts were to:

- Render the front

- Paint the house in a colour that will match the new build

- Refinish the roof to match the new build

- Add a deck to cover the porch

- Replace the shutters

- Landscape


Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
