2nd one.

On a recent Ugly House to Lovely House (Channel 4), a house was clad in a new material that looked like stained wood, but doesn't fade.

No 2. 100%

Also sits better with the neighbour

 

[KarlM]

Definitely number 2.

 

[webber]

Number 2 would be my choice in isolation, but you should consider the wider picture of the neighborhood/street as well. You want it to have a cohesive design language and not stand out in a negative way.
Doesn't the local council have a say in this?

 

[philiporchard]

Yep, No, 2 is already approved, but I was having second thoughts!

Using coloured windows *may* go out of style sooner rather than later, that's my only concern with #2, looks very nice though Philip - thought you were a teacher ;-)

What colour if not green? Possibly white for the windows?

You can always paint windows if a colour goes out of fashion. Personally, I really like the green.

I'd just save the money and move off the estate.

Grey might work well in context and be pretty timeless
