3 bedroom apartment for sale

Luxury Apartment, St James Church, Edgbaston, Birmingham

An incredible opportunity to acquire this three-bedroom, two-bathroom duplex apartment situated within a stunning converted church, part of one of Edgbaston’s most exclusive and highly sought-after residential developments.

Rich in history, St. James Church was originally built to designs by Samuel Sanders Teulon in the French Gothic Style in the mid-1800's. In 2004, it was thoughtfully converted into 12 distinctive yet functional apartments by Astley Town Developments. The exceptional quality of the conversion earned widespread recognition, with awards including the 2004 'Best Ecclesiastical Restoration,' the Special Design Award at the Birmingham Post and Mail's House Design Awards, the 2005 Renaissance Award from the Birmingham Civic Society, and the 2007 Building Conservation Award from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

This bright and very spacious Grade II Listed Church Conversion has 3 good sized bedrooms, an office room, which could be utilised as an additional 4th bedroom or, subject to the relevant consents, turned to third bathroom. 

The apartment is split on two levels, the principal bedrooms on the upper floor and entertaining space at entry level. 

Notable features include the impressive, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, the huge central rose window in the main reception room, and generous bespoke kitchen with modern appliances. The apartment benefits from off-street parking and a garage, which can be used for additional storage. 

St James Church is in the leafy, picturesque, and sought-after area of Edgbaston. Close to the vibrant city centre, and financial district for the professionals, shopping facilities of The Mailbox and Bullring and eateries of Brindley Place and Edgbaston Village close by, it is ideally positioned.
