We got quite a lot of raised eyebrows when we bought a mid-century place as well. Since then it's become far more desirable but 10 years ago it languished on sale for a couple of years before we bought it and was being sold with planning permission to knock down and build something horrid in its place.
It's so much better designed for living today than a victorian house (apart from the tiny kitchen we extended - keeping the original intact) and amazing light throughout. Mind you - completely shit insulation which we can't do a lot about and concrete walls so hanging pictures is a PITA but that's a bit of a first world problem I can live with.
Seem to be leaks everywhere at the moment though so am going to have to bite the bullet and get a specialist to have a look at the copper roof at some point which I'm sure will be £££.
