This two-bedroom modern apartment in Colombo Square offers a compact, well-presented home ideal for first-time buyers, young professionals, or investors seeking a city-base close to Newcastle. The open-plan living area opens onto a Juliet balcony, while a fitted kitchen and contemporary bathroom provide ready-to-live-in convenience. Allocated off-street parking and lift access add everyday practicality.
Important practical facts are clear: the property is leasehold with 105 years remaining, has an EPC rating of D, and uses electric room heaters rather than a communal gas system. These points affect running costs and future resale considerations. The development sits within a multicultural, largely student neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile coverage, but the immediate area records higher crime levels and is classed as deprived.
The apartment’s size (approximately 603 sq ft) suits those seeking low-maintenance city living rather than large-family accommodation. It represents good value at the asking price for buyers who prioritise location, connectivity and modern finishes and who accept modest space and potentially higher energy costs. Investors should note the local rental demand from students and professionals, balanced against area-wide social challenges.
Viewings will suit buyers wanting a move-in-ready, low-upkeep property with clear potential for short-term cosmetic updates. Any buyer prioritising lower energy bills or a quieter suburban setting should weigh the EPC and neighbourhood profile when deciding to view.
