Is this house worth it?

Looking for a house for my mother. This one looks decent and a reasonable price. Is it too good to be true? Find fault with it? Thanks. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-65911663.html

Nothing in particular. I'm content with the property I own. Having worked on it for nearly a decade, it'sin good shape now.

There is nothing that would make me move, other than an inability to manage 5 acres+ a big garden, or some external factor impossible to predict.

I suspect many people are like me; they only care about house prices when thy come to sell, but even then they're of limited importance. My last property was a better bet as an investment, but life is more than about how much money one can make.

Pity the house borrowing masses didn`t think like that 10 years ago
