Just skim reading but... the price to get the one you are looking at to the standard of the done up is at least 50k if nothing unforeseen comes up.
You'll 100% need all the electrics redone straight off the bat, and thats a can of worms itself...
Street looks lovely with a church at the end!

@chrisbmx116 cheers. The church has been converted into a climbing wall which is ace. I do know a really good electrician which helps.
Will take some photos of the electrics for him to peruse -
Out of interest what is that £50k for, is that including loft conversion, totally replacing kitchen and bathrooms etc?
For what it's worth I paid £1800 on electrics when I moved into my place, which were an absolute state. That included general inspection/fault testing/condition report, a new RCBO, fixing some sockets, installing mains smoke alarms throughout, installing an outdoor light and socket in the garden, and fault finding/repairing/rewiring most of the ground floor.
Everything we've spent or are spending currently on our house just down the road from that one, over 4 years, including electrics as above, new kitchen, knocking through a structural wall, new shower X1 and a full new bathroom, new radiators on the ground floor, building a new toilet under the stairs, quite a lot of hard landscaping in the garden, new windows and doors on the ground floor, a lot of work on the drains and external rendering, etc, etc, etc, still won't come to half your £50k.

Fuck the done up one just looks old to me, as Howard has said it’s had a lick of paint and look fresh but if I was going on there.
New bathroom, kitchen is a bit old and layout looks shite. Are the electrics needing done, the extension as Howard has said is a lean too, I’d want that proper done and is there planning for that and he mentioned the loft has it been done right, if not could be fuckin freezing and needs properly stripped an re done. So many people go see houses that looks great in photos with rose tinted glasses and then end up being money pits.
The list can be endless and depends how deep your pockets are/skill you have.
You’re one, depending how keen you are could be a proper money pit especially if there’s a serious damp issue that isn’t something daft but an expert could give you a good idea at the proper costs of fixing it!
