The house is shuttered, and appears to have been like this for a while.
The google maps overhead pic is dated 2021, but the street view is 2013.

The trees in the front garden are much bigger than the street view suggests.
Down the boundaries, the trees are thuya/leylandii. These are not protected and can be removed without consent. These trees harbour mosquitoes; your prospective neighbours probably wouldn't mind. Privacy can be restored quite cheaply.
The main trees in the front garden are pines. These are problematic and need consent. I think you would be permitted to lift/reduce the canopies; but this is a temporary fix. The process needs to be repeated periodically (three years in our case).
I only looked over the wall/through the gates from the street. The plot slopes downhill to the rear, and it is difficult to see much. But the google maps overhead pic shows big trees (probably pines) at the back as well. The overhead pic seems to show a pool down at the far end, as the terrain drops into the valley.
If that pool is beyond repair, I would suggest you put a new pool in at the front, where the aspect is better and there is plenty of room. If you get consent for a pool at the front, the trees could be removed.

You have been a star. Thank you.
Think the plan is get a building survey , consent for tree work before agreeing any sale .
hope you don’t mind me messaging should I have any further questions
Thanks
