the two walls without doors and windows will take about 150 blocks.
minus 20 for the door and and 14 for the window.
total is 116 blocks

( I am assuming there is only one door and one window in total, not one of each in each wall, if there is one of each in each wall , take another 34 blocks of the total)
 
thank you both for you input ill order 120 to be safe and i worked out for 578 bricks would you agree please many thanks tim than just goto work out sand and cement :D

Brick quantity will depend upon whether you are using metric or imperial fellas.

There are 6 metric bricks to one block, less if are using imperial.

The brickwork to pitched roof extensions finishes lower than the blockwork, usually by 1 course of blocks.

2.9 + 2.9 + 2.3 = 8.1m divided by 450mm = 18 blocks long.

2.3 high divided by 225mm = 10.2 blocks high.

18 x 10.2 = 180 blocks less openings (31) = 150 blocks
 
This was my workings;
Wall one 2.9 x 2.3 =6.67 sqm
wall two 2.3 x 2.3 =5.29 sqm
door 2.3x 0.9 =1.863 sqm
window 1.5 x 0.9 = 1.35 sqm

wall 1+2 =11.96sqm
minus
door+window =3.213sqm
=8.747sq m

block size 440x215 =0.0946sq

8.75/0.0946 =92
adding 12 blocks as half blocks on course height,
it will be about 104 blocks.
As I was originaly calculating two walls at 2.9x2.3 that's how I got to 116.
