House of the week: St Luke’s Cross, Cork €340,000

Size: Sq m 210 (2,250 sq ft)

THERE’S been any amount of work done over the past few years to 2 Strowan Villas, Gardiner’s Hill, Cork. But, now it comes for sale as a largely completed, but as yet unfinished project for the next owners to bring to final glories.

Set by the bottom of Gardiner’s Hill, and thus a two minute walk to shops and bars at St Luke’s Cross, this robust three-storey Victorian semi-d is more done out at its lower levels than at the top, and stretches to about 2,250 sq ft with three bathrooms provided for inside, plus one more quaintly outside in an oldfashioned (!) lean to — complete with cast iron bath.
