I'd definitely leave the brick and the roof, it looks like a good, solid and classic house a and the front door would come up beautifully in a smarter colour. I'd paint your front door, gutters and garage door Dulux Monument and it would look fantastic, particularly with your brick and roof couloirs and that lovely sandstone. Then the gables in the same sandy colour as your posts, though if it's too yellow-creamy you could use a warm grey taupe like Dulux Dieskau. Replace the coach lights with a sleeker but still classic version like Beacon's Southhampton and an additional pair either side of the front door. Replace the urns with say 3 simple tubular pots of varying heights on the left side with some interesting crassula and rounded Japanese box. Trim your hedge right down and thin out to shoulder height. Not sure if you can replace the finials on your fence as this Victorian style doesn't suit your house and is a bit dated. Then rip out any ratty looking plants (poor roses always look ratty!) and replace with plants that are ideal for the aspect - if they're in the shade only put in clients that in part shade even magnolia little gem is versatile. Otherwise a lovely sweet viburnum will add softness and bright foliage. Plant mondo grass in the tall pot and remove the pew bench and rectangular planters and get a new small batch of fresh pebbles for between the square pavers. You could even put an interesting bench (or that pew) along the wall on the right of the front door, style it up with a couple of outdoor cushions (KMART even have some smart stripe ones). and finally get the roof cleaned but otherwise leave it! it's a great house, it won't take much to make it look really fresh and stylish.

It's ultimately personal, and as always a matter of priorities/tastes, but for maximum impact/value adding for minimum spend I'd consider just a painting update to the facade (accept/work with finishes at they exist & embrace the existing style) and agree with some of the other comments re the landscaping - consider the landscaping solution and elements as just as at least important as the building and they need to balance/compliment each other appropriately. Money into changing cladding for the sake of it arguably is not as well spent as investment in developing properly defined/structured/focused elements for the front yard and making it a space and an asset to your property.....good luck :)

I was wondering the same thing just a few weeks ago. When you open a photo in your ideabook there is three dots in the top right corner -that is where you can delete a photo.
