House of the week: Strawberry Hill, Cork - €355,000

"WE DOWNSIZED too early,” quip the owners of 6 Lisin, a high-end, first floor super comfortable two-bed apartment, in this niche development of just a dozen units along Cork city’s Strawberry Hill.

• Size: 90 sq m (970 sq ft)
• Bedrooms: 2
• Bathrooms: 2
• BER: C1

The working couple bought here, at the well-regarded 2005-built niche scheme, eight years ago, with their three daughters reared, and at the time they sold a lovely, old-style Sunday’s Well home with long sloping gardens to move a few hundred yards away to embrace easy, apartment-living style, within a walk of the city centre and UCC.
