Gorgeous Georgian house - on a roundabout

Hi all. Am so torn about putting an offer on this house. I've fallen in love with it and am trying to convince myself the negatives aren't SO bad but DH isn't convinced.

Positives: It's SO PRETTY. More than big enough for our growing family, way bigger than we could normally afford. Has all the quirky period features we love in buildings, plus great sized rooms, layout etc. Nice size garden, excellent location for schools, amenities etc. Did I mention it's pretty?!

Negatives: It's on a small but very busy roundabout. Parking is a space rented in the pub car park opposite, £50 a month. No real back garden to speak of so nowhere to relax outside away from traffic noise. Single glazing and no way of changing that because it's Grade 2 listed. Very old building which is lovely but possibly a money pit? Needs some work doing, poor condition windows / possibly roof, bit of plastering.

We have one toddler and a dog.

House is gorgeous but location would be a no for me

No rear garden, no parking, crammed in a corner v close to road and near a pub

You need a decent garden for a toddler to play in

@Alwaysinpain you can’t leave it there! Why would it be haunted? I need to know.

I’d be more worried by the cliff than the roundabout TBH.
