Comments (1)Looks like Queen Anne style to me. The back is called a vasiform splat. ie. it looks like a vase. HTH...See MoreBrickpointing or Cement Rendering a Period Home
Comments (6)Not sure on costings. Render would probably be cheaper in comparison, by how much I don't know.

Comments (5)I don't think any paint will make it less obvious, unless you can source some invisible paint! As you said the new opening actually draws attention to the lowness of the arch.
