About this property
Step into 1930s elegance with this stunning two-bedroom Art Deco apartment, a true gem in Lilliput. Built around 1938 by John Clarke, this unique property retains its original charm, featuring an authentic Art Deco lift and period lighting.
In the Spring of 1937, the wife of Cecil Kimber, the founder of the mg Car Company, Renée Kimber and their two daughters Betty & Jean moved into Flat 1, Salterns Court.
On first seeing the flat, Jean Cook is reported as saying:
"This where our new home was to be, Flat 1, Salterns Court, Lilliput, Parkstone, Poole. Dorset, the new flat was marvellous
very light with sunshine flooding in all day and a stunning view of one of the most beautiful harbours in England".
Located on the main road, you're perfectly placed with shops, cafes, and local transport links right on your doorstep, and just moments from Sandbanks and Poole Harbour.
Inside, Flat 3 offers an entrance porch with storage, a well-appointed kitchen with ceramic hob, integrated fridge-freezer, dishwasher, and tiled floor. The very large lounge is bathed in light from elegant glass flows and offers two fitted storage cupboards.
Enjoy outdoor living on two private balconies with mosaic flooring, providing charming views. The king-sized main bedroom boasts a large window and ceiling-height fitted wardrobes, while the second bedroom is a versatile double/large single with fitted storage. The modern bathroom includes a bath with overhead shower.
With renewed electrics and distinctive Art Deco matching lighting throughout, this apartment offers a blend of historical character and modern comfort. The building also features a historic boiler room, once a residents' meeting area.
Situated in a prime location, this property offers unparalleled convenience with its close proximity to highly-rated educational institutions like Holy Angels School as well as essential amenities. Excellent transport links and nearby shops, bars and restaurants ensure that daily life is both effortless and efficient.
No pets permitted. This is a rare opportunity for a unique home in a prime location.
