Need help on style of porch and front door!
Comments (103)Thanks so much everyone - this has been great. Sorry for the lack of response - been flat out!!!! It must be hard for you American guys to work on such old English designs.... The ideas have gradually culminated into what really would look good on the house. Ourfarmhouse - these are absolutely great ideas, and thanks Everything Beautiful for getting the jist and putting the ideas onto the house image - nothing like seeing an actual design on your own home. We've got an architech working on it, and he's keen on the iron-wrought idea... but we're not sure. Basically toss-up with this and Everything Beautiful's design (2 above). Going with a four-pannel door, but would like to incorporate some glass somewhere! Possibly a panel above with the house name engraved on it?? Victoria - absolutely right...! We don't need to sit outside with the weather.......... say no more! Just wanting something to cover yourself while you're unlocking the door. We've also done a tour of the local areas, and found a couple of porches - amazing what you find right on your doorstep! Will attach pics shortly......See MoreHow can we improve the look of our new shed / summer house / bbq area
Comments (21)If you feeling brave, dark stains such as black look stunning and help the building to visually recede against the backdrop of vegetation. It's the tradition finish for agriculture buildings and has a very contemporary look. I'd contrast it with a pale grey deck or beige gravel or stone if you want something warmer. The building needs grounding in its setting, ie. connect it with a path and some planting to prevent it looking like it's been dropped from space! It's going to be a great facility to have in the garden....See MoreIn search of inspiration...

Comments (1)Do you mean something like this: Some more images below as well. If it's next to the house where windows are then you'll want a glass roof possibly with retractable awning for shade on hot days. In that case I think you're looking for a veranda. As far as I'm aware it would fall under permitted development so long as it's not at the front of the house, doesn't cover more than 30 sq meters, no more than 2.5 meters in height and all outdoor structures don't cover more than 50% of the property's land. If it was going to be used as a balcony or raised platform then this would need planning permission. If you're going put any outside electrics or plumbing for e.g. that are connected to the house supply then you will need building regs approval. Not 100% on all this and I would certainly check with you're local authority as permissions may vary depending if you're in a conservation area or area of outstanding beauty for e.g. but hope this helps....See MoreUser
