Eslington Terrace, Jesmond, Newcastle upon Tyne

A different kind of Jesmond apartment! There is an immediate sense of space when you step into this apartment, but it is the detail that makes it memorable. Occupying the upper floor of an elegant period building in Brandling Village, the apartment was previously remodelled by architect owners and has evolved over time into a home that feels both considered and comfortable.

A different kind of Jesmond apartment! There is an immediate sense of space when you step into this apartment, but it is the detail that makes it memorable. Occupying the upper floor of an elegant period building in Brandling Village, the apartment was previously remodelled by architect owners and has evolved over time into a home that feels both considered and comfortable.

At its heart is an extraordinary 33ft open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, running almost the full depth of the apartment. Its proportions allow it to work just as naturally for everyday life as they do for entertaining, whether gathered around the substantial kitchen island or settled in front of the fire. In the morning, sunlight comes across the treetops and floods the kitchen and dining area, while the dual aspect keeps light moving through the space throughout the day. Granite work surfaces and integrated appliances sit alongside hardwood flooring, traditional column radiators and a log-burning stove.

Throughout the apartment, natural timber, warm walnut tones and carefully selected fittings sit comfortably alongside the original proportions of the building. Wooden double-glazed sash windows complement its period character, while smaller details, from the ironmongery and joinery to the choice of handles and finishes, have been considered as part of the overall design.

Away from the main living space, a roof light draws daylight into the split-level entrance and dedicated study area, creating somewhere to work that feels properly integrated into the apartment. Both bedrooms are genuine doubles with built-in storage, with the rear of the apartment catching the evening light and sunsets. The bathroom provides a bath and separate walk-in shower.

Above, two substantial loft spaces provide extensive additional storage as well as scope for further development.

Altogether, the apartment extends to approximately 1,034 sq ft*, giving it proportions rarely found in a two-bedroom apartment. Despite its scale, the spaces have been used thoughtfully, giving each part of the home its own purpose while allowing it to flow naturally as a whole.

Eslington Terrace sits in a peaceful pocket of Brandling Village, with Jesmond Metro at the end of the road, Newcastle city centre easily reached and the green spaces of Exhibition Park and Jesmond Dene close by.

This is not simply a two-bedroom apartment that has been remodelled. It is a home that has been thought about. The scale gets your attention, but it is the detail, warmth and way the spaces work together that hold it.
