This four-bedroom Victorian end-terrace on Hallam Street offers spacious period living at an accessible price — a practical starter for first-time buyers ready to improve and personalise. High ceilings, bay windows and two reception rooms give a generous sense of space across an average-sized 1,152 sq ft layout. The property is freehold and within walking distance of Sandwell & General Hospital and major bus and tram links, making commuting straightforward.
The house has clear scope for updating: the kitchen and fixtures are functional but dated, and the loft has been converted for use as a bedroom without retained building-regulation documentation. Heating currently relies on mains gas and room heaters; walls are solid brick with no known insulation, so buyers should budget for energy efficiency improvements.
Practical considerations include a small rear garden, shared side access, no off-street parking, and a noted easement on the title (enquire for details). The surrounding area is an urban, culturally mixed neighbourhood with fast broadband but higher crime levels and local deprivation — factors to weigh for family safety and future value.
For a buyer seeking an affordable Victorian property with character and commuter convenience, this house presents clear potential. It’s best suited to someone willing to carry out cosmetic and energy-efficiency work and to regularise the loft conversion if they require full compliance.
