Summary - 6 Colombo Square, Worsdell Drive NE8 2DF
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Turn-key first-floor riverside flat with allocated underground parking and lift access.
Two bedrooms, one shower room — ready to occupy
This two-bedroom first-floor apartment in Colombo Square offers a compact, turn-key city-base close to Gateshead Quayside and the city centre. The open-plan living area with a Juliet balcony and integrated kitchen makes efficient use of 641 sq ft, while an allocated underground parking space and lift access add real convenience for daily commuting or letting.
The development benefits from riverside position and contemporary build quality from the late 1990s/early 2000s, with communal gardens and maintained communal areas. The shower room has been refitted and appliances are included, so the property can be occupied or rented immediately with minimal fuss.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold with 112 years remaining and an annual service charge of about £2,064 (£172pcm). Heating is electric via room heaters (no central gas), and the area is described as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with higher local crime and relative deprivation — factors that may influence rental demand, insurance and resale values.
Overall this apartment will suit first-time buyers looking for an affordable riverside entry into the market or investors seeking a city-centre rental. Buyers should budget for ongoing service charges, consider the implications of electric heating, and carry out their own checks on local rental yields, insurance costs and any noise from nearby transport routes.
