Should I have suspicions about buying this home?

You should have suspicions buying any property.  Spending that much money without querying matters is, IMHO, unwise.

If you do decide to offer on it, and it's a repossession, don't be surprised that the bank will most likely continue to market it even though you are trying to progress your purchase. You will also probably come across an advert in a local paper saying that 'an offer has been received for £X, interested parties must submit higher offers by Ydate', as it is the bank's duty to get as much money from the sale as they can, within reason.

People get all angsty about this when buying a repossession, but it's standard practice, you just have to get your ducks in a row as quickly as you can and hope that you're not outbid.

If the bedrooms are below something like 2.1m completely, then they may not meet the standard for a bedroom, depends when they were converted of course. This is just off the top of my head, but I think 'most' of the ceiling has to be at that height these days. I only mention it because we were looking at getting our loft converted into a room and our roofer who we've known for years said there was no chance as it is only 1.9m in the very middle and he said it would need the whole roof lifting to over 2.1m.

Worth checking whether it is standard construction or non-standard. Non-standard can be a right PITA. 

The dimensions are listed as such

Bedroom One: 3.66 m × 3.71 m
Bedroom Two: 3.89 m × 2.39 m

But the sloped ceilings literally make 30% of the room restricted basically and in one of the rooms it's more like 50% restricted, you can fit a single bed in there and that's about it.

If there isn't the legal head room it won't be advertised as a bedroom.   It might be used as a bedroom.  But the details will be something like Attic Room, hence not calling it a bedroom.
