Yep! You spend most of your time inside it anyway, and you can make it home. Plus all of our ideas of ugly / beauty change over time - that house isn’t intrinsically ugly, and in X years’ time it will be considered quaint or cool or desirable*

Nice enclosed flowery front garden instead of concrete with bushes for privacy, make the ground floor window full height doors, put the 1st floor window back to the original width (weird btw) and it’ll be great. As long as the space more or less works as is, there is enough light inside for you and you like the immediate and not-so-immediate area it will work out. We live in a classically ugly ex-council house but its pleasant to be in, and an OTT front garden makes up for it IME.

Has anyone bought an extremely ugly house in a nice area?
Can you learn to love one in time?
There's a house in an area we like, within our budget, with some really nice features, but it's really ugly (also needs a fair bit of work).
Grow some wisteria up it and it will all be fine? Or hold out for something that actually stirs the loins?
