Summary - 76, COLOMBO SQUARE, WORSDELL DRIVE NE8 2DF
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Modern two-bed apartment with balconies and parking, long lease.
Two double bedrooms with ensuite to master
A modern two-bedroom apartment in the Ochre Yards riverside development, offering straightforward rental appeal and low-maintenance living. The flat has two double bedrooms (ensuite to master), two balconies, and allocated off-street parking — features that typically attract professionals and students looking for convenience and private outdoor space.
The building is a relatively recent system-built construction (circa 2007–2011) with double glazing and insulated walls (assumed). The property benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and there is no flooding risk. The long lease (approximately 106 years remaining) provides security for buyers and investors.
Be aware of material drawbacks: heating is by electric room heaters and the property uses electricity as the main fuel, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas. The immediate area is classified as a multicultural, cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with high crime levels and general area deprivation; these factors can affect rental demand, tenant profiles and resale values. There is no information on council tax or exact glazing installation dates.
This apartment suits an investor seeking a low-upkeep rental in a major conurbation or a buyer wanting a lock-up-and-leave city base. Its key strengths are location, two balconies and parking; its main trade-offs are electric heating, local socio-economic challenges and the need to factor running costs into yield calculations.
