Almost hidden apartment real gem

Tommy Barker says No 4 Brookfield Mews is well worth consideration by buyers

Practically hidden away, yet in the centre of College Road’s major players UCC and the Bon Secours hospital in Cork, is Brookfield Mews — blink, and you’ll miss it.

There’s just four two-bed apartments in this one-off building, and now No 4 is for sale, with 820 sq ft of space, for a €175,000 AMV with agents Frank V Murphy & Co. They report good investor interest recently in this area, given the UCC factor (and fears over the euro currency’s stability,) and in the past few days went ‘sale agreed’ on a renovated terraced three bed that went over its €190,000 AMV, to tip the €200,000 mark with an investor buyer.
