Discription

The property is irregularly in shaped, the former Keatings Electrical the building extends to approximately 920 sq.m. (0.22 acres). Access is provided via a secure gated vehicular entrance directly from Conduit Lane, opening onto a concrete-surfaced parking area. From here, a stepped concrete platform provides access to the rear of the former dwelling house, which also benefits from an independent pedestrian entrance onto Conduit Lane, offering the potential for separate access arrangements.

The site contains a number of existing stone-built structures, all of which are currently vacant and in derelict condition.

The site is generally level, with the exception of the stepped access platform, and is enclosed by established boundary walls, providing a secure and private setting within the city centre.

However, given its stratigic location in the City Centre it is a prime location for potential redevelopment of the site, or repurposing of the existing buildings.
