    That is soooo West-coast Scottish :-)

    I walked past this hoosie this afa - white-painted render (you'd have to use a high-quality paint like epoxy for longevity...) and anthracite aluminium windows. 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.


    Either this is a dodgy camera angle, or this property has serious structural problems.

    I think the name plate says...umm...BendyHouse.
  • 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
