Kerb Appeal - Opinions

[Cheslea2010]

What would you guys say is the biggest factor creating kerb appeal for a house? Is it the driveway, nice garden etc? I'm not too bothered about the "adding value" aspect, but more about what makes people think "Wow, what a lovely looking property"

It’s got to look clean and well maintained, no plants or expensive landscaping will help if it is not. Ditch net curtains, have curtains hanging properly, windows sparkling, a coat of paint on the wood work.
if you have money over a big plant in a good pot on the porch, new door furniture kept polished are worthwhile.
Find a discrete home for wheelie bins.

Flowers and greenery.

For me personally it’s driveway space and the front of the house to look well cared for and tidy. A bit of greenery is always nice to look at. Clean windows and no peeling paint on front doors and garage doors

I look at the neighbours/ state of the street/litter/general parking/wider area. If that's looking good, wipe your front door, sweep the front, tidy the bins away and put a bit of colour in the garden.

A lovely garden always catches my eye. There is a whole row of houses with beautiful, colourful gardens on my way into town, and they always look magnificent and homely!

A lack of litter (apart from, perhaps, in extreme winds) is a good sign, too.

Nicely painted front door, some greenery (not just a huge paved or tarmac parking space), everything tidy and clean. Bins hidden is a must, in a little hut or behind trellis or whatever.

ugly windows & an ugly door/porch can not make up for a beautiful garden.

Kerb appeal isn't a big thing for me. As long as it is clean and tidy I'm happy. I'm not interested in a beautiful front garden as I hardly ever see it. I do like my back garden to be beautiful. I suppose what I'm trying to say is that I'm invested in the rooms/spaces I see and live in and not so much the front which I rarely see.

I walked past a house today which had a small front garden. They embraced the smallness, and made it lovely and cocoon-y with high hedges and rambling roses.
I just thought "I bet they love coming home to their font door".

I bet they do! I love coming to my front door too as my home is inside it 😊

I'm in London and front gardens and driveways aren't much of a thing in my area. I like a good solid front door and ironmongery, secure-looking windows, full-height windows, and a bit of separation from the street. I like neat, unfussy styling rather than stained glass and patterned tiles. Not bothered about greenery as pots often just makes the space look cluttered, and I dislike the idea of climbing plants up the walls or big trees disturbing the foundations.
