if you don't like it why are you contemplating using it on your own house? whether you paint or not over the years they have different textures and and beads/drip details etc. Try looking at your house in design terms. Does the windows/doors, roof tiles etc. lend themselves more to a traditional or sharp and modern finish. When you use modern materials you have to follow through with other choices which are modern too, or a complete juxtaposition of very old and new works also. If the other bits of your bungalow are somewhwere in the middle I'd go for s&c with more traditional details.
