Thanks for the input.
Our survey actually did mention that one of the window frames in the our living room bay window was rotten - and we've done nothing about it.
They do mostly open, but they don't all close again without a bit of a struggle.
They are very obviously single-glazed though and look quite old-fashioned. We'd been in the house about two weeks when I tried to open one of the rear windows, and most of the frame swung open but the glass stayed put.
When we bought the place, it was one of a list of expensive things we knew we'd have to do at some point - alongside rewiring, a new boiler, a couple of new radiators, redecorating, etc. It's pretty much the only major thing left now (though I wouldn't describe the rest as amazing).
