Is it worth redoing/expanding my driveway ?

Its currently in good condition although there are several joins where weeds come through but this isnt that big a deal so it would mostly be for cosmetic reasons and to increase the available space

Parking is restricted on my street but as I am on my own I only need one space but I think it would add value in the long run as most familys are 2 car these days.

The majority of houses on the street have had this done , mostly have been brick paved. I have brick paved 2 drives in previous properties and although they look good for a while eventually weeds come through or there are little sagging bits even using quality tradesmen

So I suppose I am asking anyone in the know will spending out a lot of £££ on doing this add value to my home ? Also anyone got ideas for a quality finish other than block paving ?

Thanks

I think it could be an asset if it looks good. My neighbour has had it done but in my opinion has picked a design that makes the front of the house look cheaper.
