Are these Jesmond's fanciest flats? First look inside luxurious new apartments in historic synagogue

It's an area filled with a fair few luxurious homes - but we think we might have found some of the poshest apartments to be found in Jesmond.

And if you can't quite find the £3.5m it would cost to buy them, here's a chance to see what they're like inside.

Constructed inside a historic building, Byzantine House combines original features with "exquisite" modern design to create a block of flats which have left us green with envy.

Now more than a century-old, the building was constructed around 1914 as a synagogue. Worshippers later left the building, which was taken over by the former Newcastle Central High School.

Now, it's been transformed into a set of ten one- and two-bedroom flats, and we took a look inside as the luxurious apartments were offered for sale for the first time.

The beautiful decorative exterior of the building has been kept, while stained-glass windows inside were considered so significant by councillors that they demanded protection for these "historic community assets" be mandated when planning permission was granted.

Now, the building at 39 Eskdale Terrace, Jesmond features stunning decorative touches including an elaborately designed mosaic floor, mirrored bookcases and dramatic mirrored shutters.

The kitchens are designed with a "dramatic, dark lacquered finish" and are "built with stylish entertaining in mind".

Each flat enjoys a "indulgent boutique bathroom", featuring dimmable blue LED lighting in the 'waterfall' showers and designer porcelain tiles.

Several of the apartments have their own private entrances and terrace gardens.

Estate Agents Urban Base said: "The stunning new homes boast individually designed layouts, light filled interiors, and an uncompromising level of finish. Provenance is a design-led development business focused on creating high quality homes.

"The design team has extensive experience in carefully regenerating unique buildings, and take pride on attention to detail, meticulously bringing historical features to life whilst creating elegant spaces with every contemporary comfort and convenience.

The finest quality finishes and luxurious, timeless décor are specially selected to complement the fabric and style of each project."

If you fancy snapping one of the flats up, sadly they're not individually available for sale or rent yet.

The homes are being sold as one package as an investment opportunity, so you'll need to cough up an impressive £3,500,000 for the lot.
