Thoughts on this rendering and structure?

Went to view this place at the weekend. This is a timber framed house, 3 bedrooms, detached, probably 1900ish, Snowdonia. Not been lived in for a while. I just wanted to get an opinion on this gable end wall which is west facing and getting the prevailing weather, is it likely to fall down soon... Obviously the render is coming off, a previous patch up job also seems to have not stopped the render on it's journey away from the wall. The inside pics are the room on the first floor and the wall on the right with the cracks is the gable end wall. Trying to figure out if its just the water getting in that causing the render to detach or whether there is a more structural issue with rotten frame / wood that is causing the whole thing to start moving around and detach from the rest of the building.... Any opinions welcome. Plenty of other issues which I'm happy to deal with but this is the one that may be the biggest. Normally I would consider walking away but I like the location, so trying to figure out how bad this is likely to be and what it's going to take to sort out... any advice or pointers would be great..

Wouldn't bother me (obviously if the price is right etc) as I'd consider it a blank canvas for stripping back for remedial repair, ewi and new cladding/render.
