Why the endless British obsession with trim manicured lawns ?
My grass stays green , never gets fed , gets walked on endlessly through the year and even rewards me with a few daisies and blue-speedwells in the summer !
It is , to myself , simply a 'green-walkway' to the garden proper .

Just moved in to a new house and this is the existing lawn. Want to know what it is so I can give it specific treatment.
the "treatment" I'd give it would be: leave alone until it starts growing in spring, then mow it regularly.
No need to over complicate things.
