The house does not look bad at first glance, although the glossy pictures probably depict a rather unrealistic image of reality.
Regarding the electrical system:
Without knowing for sure (you would have to check): the electrical system is possibly still in its original condition, which means: no residual current devices (RCDs) (these are now mandatory), neither in the bathroom nor anywhere else. In theory, they can be retrofitted, but in practice, with such an old house, you will often not succeed because the fuse will immediately trip due to a slight leakage of current somewhere (electricians may forgive my possibly inaccurate terminology). In practice, this means you have to search for faults (i.e., tear open the wall), and in the worst case, replace the entire electrical system in the house. Alternative: you rely on the existing protection. However, then you cannot make any structural changes to rooms (especially the kitchen, if you want to make structural changes there such as relocating electrical appliances, new wiring and connections are mandatory). I'm not even sure if you are allowed to add sockets at all without losing the existing protection...
