It looks really good as it is....to me, anyway!

Keep the porch tiles.
Plan sounds good.
I'd be tempted to change the windows though, that would have the biggest visual impact. -
Board and batten clad the set back extension, stained black.
I reckon this would work as it's already subservient to the main house so will make it look like a new addition. You will need the outside of the new windows black too of course :)
I reckon the biggest aesthetic difference you could make would be to get rid of the concrete tiles from the roof, but appreciate this is a big capital cost if they've still got a reasonable lifespan in them.

We’ve changed our minds about cladding the whole front of the house and the idea of faux barn aesthetic and embrace the extended 60’s build it is.
With that in mode the new plan is;
Paint the oak door sunflower yellow (we like the shape and design just not the finish) (kettle for inspiration)
Render the recessed porch(?) bit and paint the whole thing in the same yellow including the ceiling. (I wanted high gloss tiles, but have been overruled)
Replace the terracotta floor tiles on the step with black slate to the ground.
Build simple wooden rectangular planters to go under each window, stained black.
Board and batten clad the set back extension, stained black.
Stain log store black.
Put up 3 scaffolding poles to finally fit the sail car port thing we’ve had forever.
And then relax as if.
Any thoughts, advice or ideas great fully appreciated.
