Description
The Mercy Convent is entranced through electric gates off Emmet Street providing both vehicular and pedestrian access to the property. The property is bordered by educational buildings to the south, Emmet Street to the west, parish buildings to the east and offices to the north.
Built over 3 floors, the property is in excellent condition throughout and has been well cared for by the current owners. Most of the accommodation is multi-functional and the bedroom and utility area layout can be redesigned with ease. Subject to the necessary planning permission and in line with the protected status of the property, the building would suit a range of different uses including hospitality, and residential.
