Brunswick Street, Canton. Cardiff. CF5 1LH

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 third bedroom, although more compact, is particularly versatile and can comfortably accommodate a double bed, making it an ideal guest bedroom or an alternative home office.

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.
