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.

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 30 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 1,069 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 1,069 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 1,069 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 PRD Hunter ValleyPositioned in the prestigious village of Lorn, only a few hundred metres to the boutique coffee shops and friendly grocers on Belmore Road, and a similar distance to the heart of the Maitland CBD, 23 The Avenue Lorn occupies a spacious 1,066sqm lot with highly sought after and hard to find rear access from The Esplanade. The home itself has been refurbished within the last five years to an exacting standard. Spacious rooms, luxurious appointments throughout and to top it all off, a fully functioning granny flat / studio delivers the holy trinity of a fully refurbished home on a spacious block with so many rare and sought-after features.
Entering from the Avenue, you will be impressed by the Edwardian architecture and the deep east facing front veranda that greets you. Entering the home, the level of quality is superb. The traditional layout of four spacious bedrooms at the front gives way to a superb modern extension at the rear. The main bathroom and second bathroom/steam-room are adorned with antique mirrors and hand finished Spanish terracotta tiles. The kitchen has been made with equal care with marble benchtops, free standing SMEG gas stove, electric oven, and back-lit cabinetry.
The enormous living room lets an abundance of natural light in from bespoke led-light windows. The combustion fireplace is perfect for the winter months, with reverse cycle ducted A/C throughout a bonus.
Stepping out through the timber French doors onto the huge rear hardwood deck, you will be blown away but the yard size. Ample space for a pool, or plenty of room to pursue gardening interests, the rear access ads to the convenience. The granny flat/studio is well equipped, also with ducted A/C, and room enough for multiple uses, either a home office, teenage retreat, downsizing parents, or even a short-term rental (STCA). A full-sized double garage is yet another rarity for Lorn, with the total privacy of off street parking another plus. Directly accross the road from the rear entrance is the Lorn Riverside Park, a leafy natural riverside park with an off-leash dog area, a massive plus for those with furry friends! An additional feature to be highlighted is the expanse of storage offered by way of the large attic above the garage. A feature so often sought-after in heritage homes, but equally hard to find.
Homes like 23 The Avenue Lorn sit at the premium end of the market. Many homes in Lorn possess similar individual features, but very few possess all of them at once in the same way 23 The Avenue does. This is the second time this property has been offered to the public market in over a century. Do not miss this opportunity.
