How much to renovate this house I saw on rightmove?

DH and I have finally made the decision to move out of London. We are exploring almost every corner of England.

I have seen a house I really like on rightmove but it needs a lot of work. I am not afraid of it as we have done a total regut before but on a much smaller scale (flat) and in stages. It did come out gorgeous. But DH is less sure.

How much do you think it would cost to totally renovate this house? To a mid level spec. We’re not talking bespoke kitchens. Dh is away for work a lot so could not do any level of work himself. Plus he is not handy. My aesthetic is very we much modern country a la Neptune and Cotswold Company and this would fit the bill!

The layout would have to be rejigged in order to have the dream kitchen.

Thanks in advance.

Just ballpark of course.

Just for reference this is the aesthetic I like. I would want to landscape and possibly put down gravel. I do like that pristine look whilst retaining and respecting period features.

Well it would cost as much as you care to spend!

If I bought it I'd repaint the kitchen units, so about £50

You could spend 200k. Or 500k.

Doesn’t look like it needs renovation to be honest, just new kitchen/bathroom. Could easily be done for less than £40k including all appliances.
