Looks just fine
This.
We live in a post war red brick semi. In fairness other than the quirky 60s places near us there is nothing else we'd have been able to afford that fit our criteria. I don't love it, but I've realised that having a big garden, off street parking, out building/shed etc. are what impact my life. The bit you really see is the path and door. Since we've done those it feels much more inviting and nice to walk up to. We've also grown a now decent star jasmine up ΒΌ of the front.
However, if you're asking on here for opinions then I feel you may already have your answer - sort of like choosing to ask your amoral mate whether you should keep sleeping with the hot girl with a boyfriend. Deep down you've made your choice.

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?
