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.

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.
The official layer maps a heritage listed area on this parcel, intersecting about 99.7% of it (NSW ePlanning Spatial Viewer, retrieved 31 Aug 2026). Verify the extent against the title before relying on unaffected land.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
NSWZoned General Residential · R1 (Maitland Local Environmental Plan 2011). Official parcel area about 918 m². Dual occupancy looks constrained by site overlays or terrain. Two-lot subdivision looks unlikely on the loaded constraints. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. Zoning and lot facts are a starting point, not proof this lot outperforms the suburb. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Heritage constraint may block demolition or dual occupancy even on a large block. Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. Official parcel about 918 m² — land size can look like optionality. What reduces it: Conservation Area - General. Heritage can block demolition and dual occupancy even when land size looks like a site. 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 $608/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms. Heritage constraints are a maintenance and alteration cost, not usually a rent premium by themselves.
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.
Yield cannot be shown without both a price and a rent figure. Net yield is not estimated from gross advertising copy. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.
Verdict
Districts view
Loaded constraints look like they kill a naive land-size story. Pay house money, or walk, until a planner confirms a pathway.
Detail
Official parcel about 918 m² — land size can look like optionality. What reduces it: Conservation Area - General. Heritage can block demolition and dual occupancy even when land size looks like a site.
Nearby competing dwellings and net yield are still unknown.
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 River Realty MaitlandFrom its timeless facade to its elegant interior, this lovely Lorn home offers something truly special from a bygone era.
A traditional picket fence, neatly manicured front garden and wraparound verandah framed with timber fretwork and brick columns set the scene for this stunning heritage home, which was built in the 1920s and has been immaculately maintained.
The front and side verandah provides three access points to the home, with a solid timber front door and decorative screen leading into a central hallway, and a pair of timber French doors offering direct access into one of the bedrooms.
The side verandah also provides entry into a delightful sun-drenched study, which comes complete with a lovely bay window, custom-built cabinetry and its own internal access into an adjoining bedroom.
The home has four generously-proportioned bedrooms in total, with spacious built-in wardrobes in three of them including twin vintage-style wardrobes flanking the French doors in the front bedroom.
The master suite has an expanse of storage on offer, with a wall-length wardrobe with four sliding mirrored doors in the bedroom itself and a double-door linen cupboard in the adjoining two-way ensuite.
The home is also well catered for when it comes to living areas, with an elegant formal lounge towards the front that features intricate decorative ceiling panels, delicately patterned wallpaper and a stunning chandelier.
A gas fireplace in one corner and plush carpet underfoot add to the cosiness of the space, while the high ceilings add a sense of understated grandeur.
Stunning original features have been retained throughout the property to create refined authenticity, including detailed cornices, decorative ceiling panels and Colonial skirtings and architraves, while vintage-style wallpaper, period pendants and wall-mounted lights complement the traditional period elements.
A polished timber mantelpiece surrounding a wood-burning fireplace offers a stately focal point to draw the eye in the dining room, while twin wall arches create a seamless connection to the adjoining lounge room.
The kitchen also sits adjacent to the dining room, offering easy access for family meals or when hosting dinner parties.
Upgraded three years ago, the kitchen is a light and bright space with clean, contemporary lines and plenty of storage areas.
Glossy white cabinetry and a sleek subway tiled splashback bounce the natural light off every surface, while pale green painted walls above the cabinetry help tie the space into the home’s overall heritage style and colour palette.
Polished timber floorboards add warmth and texture to the kitchen, while 20mm stone benchtops give it an understated sense of luxury. A wide recess large enough to accommodate an oversized French door fridge ensures the kitchen will cater to the largest of families or those who love to entertain.
The home’s rear lounge room is also an entertainer’s delight, with timber French doors allowing this space to be opened up to the rear covered verandah while also providing a lovely aspect over the neatly manicured backyard.
Brick columns and timber fretwork help to define the rear verandah while also providing a stylistic link to the front façade.
This alfresco area is a lovely, private space fringed by established plants and trees, offering an ideal vantage point to sit and relax with a cup of coffee and a good book, or enjoy an outdoor dining experience.
An expansive covered cabana at the rear of the property offers another fantastic outdoor space, providing a private, shady spot to watch over the children as they splash around in the inground saltwater swimming pool.
A private manicured lawn and detached double garage with adjoining carport add to the property’s outdoor features.
Located in Lorn, a picturesque suburb on the banks of the Hunter River known for its heritage architecture and wide tree-lined streets, this property is ideally located within walking distance of the local school, sporting fields and the neighbourhood shops and cafes.
Across the other side of the river via the Belmore Bridge sits the revitalised Levee precinct in Maitland’s city centre, which is a thriving hub of restaurants, cafes, boutiques and businesses and the gateway to the wider Maitland area, while the suburb’s proximity to the New England Highway provides connectivity to key regional attractions.
