Olivia Louise Estate Agents are delighted to offer for sale this attractive three-bedroom home on Brunswick Street, Canton.
Combining original character, well-proportioned accommodation and a particularly convenient location, this is a home that offers plenty of charm alongside the practicalities of everyday living.
The property retains many of the features associated with traditional period homes, beginning with a welcoming entrance hallway featuring beautiful traditional Victorian encaustic floor tiles. The living room is another highlight, with a period fireplace that has been restored to full working condition, creating an attractive focal point and adding to the home's character.
Brunswick Street offers three bedrooms and a family bathroom, together with generous ground floor living space, providing flexibility for both everyday family life and entertaining.

The kitchen combines practicality with a clean, well-presented finish, with the added benefit of a new, high-specification boiler neatly integrated within the kitchen units.
Outside, the rear garden provides a lovely space to relax and enjoy, with the added advantage of having no directly adjoining properties to the rear, offering a greater degree of privacy and a less overlooked setting than many traditional terraced gardens.
