Paint it with thinned down Yoghurt (cheap stuff from your local Asian
supermarket), will grow algae and mellow it a bit.

ISTR on one of the Grand Designs programmes the featured couple built an
extension facing a courtyard shared with some orchestra/opera company,
who got shirty about the fact it had been built in commons and
eventually they were forced to employ a firm who painted the bricks with
various mottled/striped patterns to look "posher", seemed OK from TV
piccies, but in real life?

The house is a Rustic Multi brick in appearance, this is what we would like to achieve.
Tried some treatment from a company called "Dye Brick" in a rustic brown colour, applied several coats but know where near in visual appearance.
Concerned now that we may need to approach the professionals to get the appearance we need.
Any ideas ???

I wonder what it would cost to clad it in brick to match the rest of the
house. Brickwork isn't desperately expensive but maybe the making good
of roof, windows etc would push up the cost a lot
