It could do with a refresh with much wallpaper etc looking a bit worn. Mostly however, while general cleanliness was perfectly fine, the place needs a deep clean and detail in cleaning. Pulling out the dining table extension revealed horrible food waste. The kitchen has a light which can be lowered towards the table, a good feature until doing that during our meal rained the table with fossilised wood lice and dust. So in general a really lovely property that would be first class with some decor refresh and some attention to proper cleaning.
