The property was acquired by Beechcroft and resorted to its former glory in 2010 into 12 appealing apartments and this fabulous property which is located to the rear of the building. A perfectly situated mews style house, set back away from the usual fanfare of the City's day to day, the property is approached via secure gated access from the Exchange Square off Jewry Street.

The exceptional interior of this property is configured over two floors with accommodation of around 2440 sq. ft.
