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?

I don't like houses with side-facing front doors. But perhaps you could add a simple porch between you and the neighbours so the front door faces forward and you'd have a more secure back garden. Otherwise, apart from the reduced width window it's ok. Planted front garden would do a lot.

Filling in the side return would make it harder to get my Christiania child chariot safely behind the house (if I'm buying into that dream I'm going all in).

Plus it's only a 9 minute cycle to Gail's. I think I'm actually coming round to it even more.
