I've Just bought this  

Congratulation for this nice...
Congratulation for this nice acquisition.
Here is my quick photoshop attempt.

I love
the wide, quarter-width door.. and the screening!

an expression I don't use...
an expression I don't use very often is 'blown away' but both you (robert1960) & Patrick have just 'blown me away'
I really appreciate it
'woodywood' it's the front shot the back shots just look like a paddock and nothing at all really....a blank canvas which suits
I had 4 realistic expectations when I was looking
1 Large land and it's 1100 square meters
2 It's in the country and not to far from reality (220km's from the nearest city)
3 Affordable and I call 42k affordable
4 And most importantly it has architectual substance
Go for it robert1960, I'd love to see anything

as I said not much to look...
as I said not much to look at from the back

Bauhaus

don't know how it would go down with the country folk!

Good stuff!
I would paint the bricks matte gray.

I love what Patrick did
--but how about adding a deck-- to ground it a bit, and add outdoor space?

Don't
Paint the bricks!! 😮

How about an open invitation to all Design Addicts to stay in your home for vacations? We could give interior design suggestions as well.

That would be
really fun. I pick Patrick and Alix's house. Who wants to stay in mine?

I'm with you, Woodywood--
NEVER paint brick!

I beg
to differ. It entirely depends upon the bricks. If you have an historic home in Brugges or Charleston or Philadelphia, leave your bricks alone. If you have non-historic, non-handcast bricks as above, go ahead and paint them.
The bricks in the above dwelling look commercial and nondescript. I would paint them to freshen them up.

I'm inclined to think that even the lowliest cinderblock
is more pleasing unpainted, than painted. 🙂

As a general rule...
I don't believe in painting any natural materials.
But if one were to paint these bricks, gray would certainly not be my first choice of color. Just my opinion.
