Dream house?

Victorian terrace with lots of original features, three bedrooms plus a games room with a bar, looks immaculate and it's bang on budget! Going to see it in 1 hour, 23 minutes and getting excited. We're sick of looking at dumps and I can't believe that some people dare try to sell their houses in the state that some of these places are in. (Tip: if you are trying to sell a house, it doesn't look good when the tiles that have fallen off the walls are propped up against the bath and there are holes in the wall).
We have seen a mortgage advisor and there shouldn't be any problem getting the mortgage we want (actually, the mortgage is mine, the wife is paying her share out right from the sale of her house - one of many advantages of being with an older woman). I could get up to five times my annual income which sounds terrifying so will settle with 3.5 times which sounds a little less terrifying.

UPDATE:
Not a dream house. No garden = no where to grow veggies. Crap kitchen = crap place for cooking veggies. Not quite so immaculate. Other than that there was loads of house, perhaps too much - I hate housework!
