Advice welcome on paint for external brickwork, external and internal satin/eggshell woodwork

[Bonny Lass]

Our recently purchased house is painted in crepi, with brickwork around doors and windows.  The brickwork paint is peeling, and we need to renew.  Has anyone any recommendations?

Would prefer it not to be brilliant white.

Also, we like the eggshell-type finish of indoor paintwork, also external (it might just be that the gloss has completely gone on external shutters and woodwork!), so would welcome any help so that we can get on with jobs before the winter sets in!

Thanks in anticipation.
