St James Court is an elegant conversion of a former church school house, now home to just six individual apartments, offering a peaceful yet central setting in Poole Old Town. Residents enjoy secure access via an ornate archway leading into a charming courtyard, with lift and stair access to the first floor.

Upon entering the apartment, a welcoming inner hallway provides two cupboards, one is a useful storage cupboard and the other houses a fitted washing machine/dryer. A contemporary shower room is positioned off the hallway and has been recently upgraded with a modern glass corner enclosure.

Full-height windows line the hallway, flooding the property with natural light and enhancing the sense of space throughout.

The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. This stylish and versatile space features a newly fitted modern kitchen with integrated appliances, ample room for dining and soft seating and delightful views over the historic Scaplen’s Court museum gardens.

French doors open from the living area onto the outstanding private decked balcony, which spans the entire length of the apartment. This exceptional outdoor space is ideal for al fresco dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the coastal air.

The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobe storage and a modern en-suite bathroom comprising a full-size bath, WC and wash basin. The second double bedroom also offers built-in wardrobe space and overlooks the balcony.

The property further benefits from one allocated undercover parking space, along with secure cycle storage within St James Court.
