What works does this house need?

We are considering buying this house - it is of good size and in the right location. It does however need a lot of work to be habitable.

We’ve got about 1.5 years, and a budget of £100k to do it up before we move back to the UK and live in it.

What works do you think the house needs before we can move in, based on what you can see? For context, we are a family with 3 kids aged 2, 5 and 8.

Agree with @TroysMammy. The location looks problematic to me. You could do something amazing to create a light filled space with huge windows, but that corner position with the low wall would be like living n a fish bowl until screening plants grow. And then it might feel dark and hemmed in.

It’s the ugly scruffy houses across the road that it looks on to that would kill any magic for me.
