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?

Depends how much it is really. I assume it's not a cheap house given where you are looking? Personally I couldn't do it because from an architectural standpoint it's not a looker, but I'm a raging snob.

It's cheap enough that we could still afford to get the loft done, have it redecorated and get the garden landscaped - which for the area, is unusual.

We've got our sights set on a desirable area of an unaffordable town, so beggars can't be choosers I suppose.
