Firstly, a conservatory may happen, but truthfully it's low on the list of priorities, mainly from a cost point-of-view.

There is no way I could accept our bungalow looking anything other than 'proper', which is why I wanted to cover the grotty looking bits. The dodgy bit under the bays is poor brick matching.

It is clear that the intention of the previous owner was to render. There is a feature in the brickwork just beneath the 'slit' windows, which has been cut with a grinder ready to chisel off, which is also why they weren't bothered with brick matching I imagine.

The block section at the back was formerly a veranda type area, under the roof and was blocked up, which we didn't do, but is now our Dining Room. Again, the use of blocks supports the fact that the intention was to render.

I know it's going to be expensive, but we have pretty much concluded that it's a necessary thing.
