No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.
No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
Each line above is labelled. A fact is quoted from the named source, with its date. A calculation is worked out by Districts from those facts — you can check the arithmetic. An interpretation is Districts' opinion of what the evidence means, not a fact, a valuation, or advice. Anything we haven't retrieved yet is marked as missing rather than treated as a pass.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.
Stamp duty and transfer fees: New South Wales schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.
Pre-filled with Armidale's advertised median rent — not a rent for this listing.
Gross yield is weekly rent × 52 ÷ price. Net yield subtracts operating expenses. Cashflow then subtracts interest-only interest on price × LVR. Tax, vacancies, and principal repayments are not included.
Planning
Planning data is being calculated
Data unavailable
Source
Planning facts are copied from official government GIS where available. Where an official property PDF exists (VicPlan, PlanBuild), Districts stores and serves that original document. Neither is a planning certificate, survey, or advice.
Site
Terrain has not been calculated for this property yet.
Slope is calculated on a projected metric grid from a public DEM clip of the official parcel. This is not a survey, engineering, or insurance assessment.
Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Bushfire exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Heritage listing has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
NSWPlanning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet. A suburb median or growth rate is not a reason this particular lot would outperform. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $463/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.
Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet. Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded. Suburb vacancy or leased-tape days are not this property’s competition.
Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 3.5%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.
Verdict
Districts view
Not enough official evidence yet to underwrite this as an investment.
Detail
The same ten questions apply to every property. Missing flood, nearby DAs, achieved rents, or lot geometry is unknown — not “no.”
Do not treat a suburb median, an advertised yield, or a listing score as the case for this lot.
The evidence loaded so far isn't enough on its own to change a buy, offer, or walk-away decision for this property.
Evidence
Districts asks the same ten questions of every property. If one shows as unknown, that data isn't published for this state or hasn't been loaded yet — the question stays visible so you can see exactly what's missing.

Listing material
Listed by HH Real EstateSome homes are designed to impress, while others are designed to be lived in. 214 Markham Street manages to do both. This remarkable architect-designed family home is an individual expression of thoughtful design, natural materials and connection to its surroundings. Designed by renowned Armidale architect Tony Deakin as his own family home, it remains a much-loved family residence today, offering a rare opportunity to own a home that is quite unlike anything else in Armidale.
Distinctively octagonal in design, the home is arranged around a dramatic central core and circular staircase, creating a wonderful sense of movement and connection between the living spaces. Blue brick and slate flooring feature throughout, complemented by timber, glass and an abundance of natural light. From the moment you enter, it is clear that this is a home where every element has been carefully considered.
The heart of the home is the generous open-plan family and dining area, centred around a striking skylight that draws natural light into the interior. The timber kitchen is beautifully appointed with a gas cooktop, wall oven, microwave, dishwasher and walk-in pantry, with fitted storage extending into the adjoining family room. Sliding doors provide easy access to the verandah, creating a seamless connection between the home and gardens.
For more formal entertaining, the entrance leads naturally into the dining area, while the spacious living room provides a completely different atmosphere, with an open fireplace and full-width glass stacker doors opening onto a screened verandah. It is a wonderful space for entertaining, relaxing or simply enjoying the garden throughout the seasons.
The three bedrooms are individually positioned around the home and all include built-in storage. The main bedroom is particularly appealing, with its own ensuite, walk-in robe and direct access to a private courtyard — a quiet and secluded retreat.
The thoughtful design continues with a main bathroom featuring a shower over the bathtub, a separate toilet with hand basin and a laundry incorporating an additional shower. Fitted bookshelves are found throughout the home, adding character while providing practical storage, and a reverse-cycle air conditioning unit provides year-round comfort.
Above the main living level, the distinctive circular staircase leads to a small private office — an inspired use of the home's central architectural design and an ideal space for working from home, reading or simply escaping with a little peace and quiet.
Outside, the established cottage-style gardens are every bit as individual as the home itself. Mature plantings surround the property, creating privacy and a beautiful sense of seclusion, while the various verandahs and courtyard provide plenty of opportunities to enjoy the garden from different aspects. A double open garage and additional garden sheds provide practical storage, with a water tank adding further functionality.
Positioned in sought-after South Armidale, the property is conveniently located close to schools, the local corner store and bus services, while still offering the feeling of a private garden sanctuary.
214 Markham Street is not simply a house; it is a piece of residential architecture designed around the way a family lives. Original, warm and unmistakably individual, it is a home that rewards exploration and reveals something new around every corner.
If you have been searching for a home with architectural distinction, genuine character and a story of its own, we invite you to inspect 214 Markham Street.
