Soffits & ventilation

[DC5]

Hi folks, looking for some soffit based inspiration.

 

I’m having larch cladding (horizontal) on the exterior and was just going to do a upvc soffit but now thinking larch would be better for the soffit as well. 
 

I’m also thinking that a long linear vent would look better than hole vents in the soffit but looking for suggestions.

 

Any photos or input appreciated.

 

many thanks.

Over fascia vents for me every time ?

Thanks unfortunately we aren’t using them due to the gutters we are using.

I have never not been able to use them and used a very wide variety of gutters, what guttering are you using?

It’s a factory formed box profile gutter for standing seam.

 

It’s possible they could be used, what’s the risk factor for rain water getting kicked up it? It’s a very exposed aspect!?
