Pros are it is in the right location and on a good big plot
Cons are well look at it.
My thoughts are to knock down the flat roof bit and replace with a pitched roof extension then add a separate garage block, but then how to make the rest of the house look less grim?
Thoughts and suggestions please.

Great house, seems great value for money but then I am in London where even a 2 bed flat is £400K
Initial thing I notice is the windows, not just the white upvc but they are all different styles/sizes. I can't work out why you have a bay window and then lots of 70's style flat windows and the long narrow ones too - I hate those.
Make all windows uniform style and it would look better but not perfect and it would cost a fair bit making some of the holes bigger/smaller.

Yes it's horrible, but someone will love it. Function over form, maybe turn it into a house for blind people?
It's always such a shame that someone so lacking in architectural vision gets to put things like that in such great places.
The thing is we're still putting up bland poorly designed expensive houses even now.

The access would annoy me, looks like you have to drive through other people's property to get there.
I thought that - it's not even properly surfaced.It's pretty close to an industrial estate, although it looks largely about distribution. But it's east of it, with prevailing winds from the west so noise, pollution etc will be carried towards the house. And how long will it be before that small field that separates it gets filled in?
Instantly reminded me of this house which went STC immediately near us (still being listed could be a red-herring, there's so little for sale here agents are leaving them on, we're aware of others that are still listed even with the new people in them): https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/72411705#/
Every house is compromised though, so it's just a question of what's acceptable to you, bearing in mind you'll likely want to sell it at some point.
