Yuck! Though photo of the lounge should have more of that ceiling in it.

Sad that someone lived in that. It is a sorry state.

I'm sure someone can turn it around into a nice home again though with a lot of hard work.

Probably an elderly resident that lacked the mobility to do much in later years. Windows and boiler are both fairly recent, and the roof looks to be in good nick. Clear the garden, reduce the ground levels around the building, clean out the gutters, and any damp issues should clear up pretty quickly. Aside from the kitchen and that !!!!!! nasty "conservatory", it shouldn't cost too much to redecorate.

It is the sort of place I might go for if it wasn't for the location - On a major road and way too close to Manchester, Birmingham, and a few other places I don't like.

what's the structure above the draining board by the kitchen door?

Skiddaw1

Looks like a cistern though it can't be. How odd. I wonder what it is?

I'd guess its a probate house. Could be very nice with some TLC couldn't it?

Microwave holder? Although that kitchen looks like it was built before microwaves existed. Love the no smoking sign on the kitchen door though.

If you need to do a wee in the middle of the night, you have to go downstairs, through the dining room, kitchen, dump of conservatory to visit the sole loo in the house.

If it was my house, I would knock down the conservatory and wall between that and kitchen then build using the old footprint. Would add a loo upstairs by losing the cupboard in bedroom 2 and losing a similar amount of space again from bed 2.

Or you could get yourself a chamber pot.

Bits of that house are done quite well. I love the living room. But then the kitchen units don't fit in with what they have tried to achieve in that room and the Coca Cola room is just plain bizarre. 

When you said 'the Coca Cola room' I scrolled and thought you meant the diner-esque kitchen but OH NO I was wrong.

I suspect the agent may have advised leaving that photos out.  At least with covid viewings you don't have to meet the seller....

Or convert the small bedroom at the back in to a bathroom. Being an end terrace, plenty of scope to extend, and getting rid of that conservatory would be a top priority.

Estate Agent has removed the listing - Wonder if it has been sold...
