Adrian Little from Mark Jenkinson said: “The former church is an impressive stone building on a main route through the city and in a popular area that’s within walking distance of all the major university facilities as well as the main teaching hospitals. There are also good schools in the area and a mix of shops and restaurants on the doorstep.
