What can I do with this front door?

We've just moved in to our new house and I'm really not keen on the UPVC porch door. I'm not sure whether to keep the porch and get a new door or remove it. I don't know what the original 1930s front door/porch would have looked like.

The inner front door is also UPVC but it has a glass panel with flower motif in which matches the very tall window over the stairs so it would be too much work/too expensive to change right now.

Any ideas for what would look good and/or be in keeping with the age & style of the house? Sorry it's not a great photo, hope you can see it okay.

Thank you for any and all advice.

1930s front door

They were panelled for the bottom two thirds and glazed for the top one third, often with leaded glass. This one is pretty close but I might be inclined to paint it a warmer colour perhaps. Whatever you do, an historic paint colour is going to be the way forward.
