Bright and breezy property

Small is beautiful for this pied a terre terraced townhouse, Tommy Barker reports

IT’S small, to be sure, but it’s quite perfectly re-formed — the terraced townhouse 18 Hibernian Buildings, Cork, is bright, breezy — and feels like it punches above its weight in size terms too.

Near Albert Road, Shalom Park, Kennedy Park and City Hall, it’s a true pied a terre — the expression after all does mean ‘foot on the ground. All-in, No. 18’s only got about 550 sq ft, between its open plan ground floor and its sole first floor, dual-aspect bedroom, with adjoining bathroom.
