“Northern”?? Unless my googling is terrible we have different definitions of the North!
It looks like it’s in a fantastic spot, I see what you mean re the back - not beautiful but assuming that’s the main bedroom imagine waking up in the summer and opening the door up to that view.
I have no idea what places cost there, but wisteria (or a rose on a trellis so as not to fuck the pointing), a flower garden and hedges for privacy as suggested by @RodSaetan and a complementary herringbone brick footpath. It’ll be great.

The first floor window baffled me - but they've carved up what was formerly a full-width bedroom to allow for a first floor bathroom, and put the stud wall where the window used to be.
The views and light from the back of the house are incredible (south-west facing over allotments, a canal, a floodplain and distant hills), and the (also very ugly, from the outside) renovations make full use of this.
It's hard to think that our big once-in-a-lifetime move out of London could end up with us living in what looks like a council house in my northern hometown, but the location isn't quite the same I suppose.
