What is the best external cladding to pair with hamstone?
I am currently renovating this property and want to replace the existing cedar shingles with something more contemporary, but still in-keeping with the hamstone on the lower half of the build.

All ideas welcomed!

Planned elevations shown below; the side and back walls are likely to be rendered in a light colour with hamstone quoins:
