Another picture from Duncan Young - this time of a classic Southern Region concrete platelayers hut.
Famously, these were designed to fit within the loading gauge when loaded on a wagon. They could be craned off, the chimney attached, and the building was ready for occupation.
This example has a few modern additions - the trellis and flower bed, and the fire buckets, but it's a good guide for weathering. I'm not sure how I would paint those dots on the roof, but they are a typical feature of aged concrete.

A bigger challenge would be those very thin window frames
I saw this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjWjVf9QAo0 from CT Dioramas where he "used an old air brush needle to flick on some aged white paint to look like lichen". (@ ca 7.55) Would that give the effect you are looking for the dots on the roof?
