Not dissimilar brickwork to yours too.(I presume granite chippings can be painted successfully?)Ali certainly should solve the weathering issue, but it would obviously be a departure in overall house style.Just there as an example. I'm hoping others, with a more intrinsic sense of design, will offer other ideas.

If it's high quality you're after I'd choose composite doors, they'll keep the look of your lovely place and you won't have to repaint them or revarnish them at all - I think you can compare prices for them on Double Glazing on the Web so that might be helpful-2
