As the title suggests I’m looking to buy my first road bike but don’t want to break the bank – would this be a good place to start – it’s been in storage but looks in very good condition

Looks pretty pristine from what I can see… can’t see most of the drivetrain though. If it’s as clear as it looks, and it fits you, that’s a great deal for a first road bike. Be warned though that it’s quite a racy frame so might not be the most comfortable over long distances.
Edit: it also looks like it has continental gatorskin tires on it right now – I’d budget an extra £100-150 for a new set of premium tires, gatorskins are made for maximum puncture resistance at the expense of rolling resistance and ride comfort and feel horribly slow and rough compared to a more premium, supple tire like a GP5000.
Nice looking bike. Since you’re new to the sport, remember to photograph the other side of the bike instead (though you may have gotten these pics from the ad).
Nah it’s not a road bike it’s on grass.
