I thought it looked like a perfectly nice house. 

Are you saying that wizards cannot live in a house that was built by 
Muggles, that house built by Muggles cannot be magical?

This seems like a pretty far-fetched assertion to me.

One of the things that's wonderful about the Harry Potter books is 
how we learn that wizard families, such as the Weasleys, are quite 
like muggle families in very many ways.

Why wouldn't James and Lily want to raise their baby in a nice, warm 
house?  

Of course, I've always assumed that Godric's Hollow was some kind of 
magical subdivision where young wizard families with some money might 
enjoy living.
