Renovation queen Cherie Barber has bought a $6 million converted warehouse in Lilyfield from comedian and radio presenter Merrick Watts.

Barber’s purchase of the former lolly factory, known as the Oh Boy Candy Company, follows the sale of her Birchgrove waterfront home last May for $6.3 million to Julian Parisi, of the Parisi greengrocer family.

Watts bought the property in 2009 for $2.1 million and commissioned a redesign by acclaimed architect Virginia Kerridge that won two Royal Australian Institute of Architecture awards in 2013.
