Pale red bricks and mock Tudor beams lend this 1930s property plenty of character. Sage green is the perfect cooling tone to complement red brick and adds an elegant touch to the front door and garage. The arched stone lintel, weathered pots and rambling climber combine to enticing effect, while gravel makes for an attractive and low-maintenance driveway covering.
