First visit, very unsure about this house. It does need a lot of work, I think?

Five months after the property passed to us (I'm not going into detail about that aspect), I visited to check up on the house and whatever post might have been in the post box - and obviously to see how the neighbours were. Jane had spent many summers here, and I have actually been here before, but that was a visit when her Dad was alive, and it was to help stack wood after he'd had 5 or 6 trees lopped in the back garden. I recall the episode vividly. It pissed down for three days, we were soaked every day, the neighbour helped us split the logs that had been cut up with his tractor and it was slippy, shitty and wet work in a soggy February.
