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.

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 $521/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.
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
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 Jurd's Real EstateThis property was originally home to the Aberdare branch of the Cessnock and Aberdare Co-operative Society, which opened in 1919 during the golden era of retail co-operatives in the Hunter Valley. The Co-op model, owned and run by its customers, was a thriving part of the community—providing everything from groceries to clothing, and even funeral services.
At its peak, the Cessnock Co-op was a true one-stop shop and a major employer in the region, even operating its own bakery, butcheries, and more. The Aberdare branch stood as one of several successful outlets across the district, serving generations of local families.
Today, this building stands as an extraordinarily rare opportunity to own a slice of Aberdare's rich commercial and community history—offering character, nostalgia, and potential in equal measure. The property is now comprised of the original co-op store offering a large open warehouse space whilst the rear of the property is a resort style three-bedroom residence all situated on a 1011m2 corner block with lane access.
North facing, the original Co-op warehouse boasts a generous 16m x 11m floorplan, enhanced by a mezzanine level that offers valuable additional storage space. With full width glass to the street there is plenty of natural light, plus ceiling fans and a log burner will keep the workspace comfortable year-round. Dual access points—from the street and the adjoining side carport—enhance the flexibility of this versatile area, making it ideal for a range of uses. The attached 6m x 6m carport offers secure parking with scope to extend and create further vehicle storage for almost the full length of the warehouse. At the rear of the warehouse, a self-contained one-bedroom studio features a kitchenette, laundry, and ensuite, adding even more value and potential to this unique property.
Located at the rear of the property, the three-bedroom residence exudes an industrial charm, featuring exposed original beams, soaring ceilings, and high-set louvre windows. Epoxy-coated floors, strip lighting, restored original doors, and sections of exposed internal brickwork create a seamless fusion of heritage character and modern design. The three generously sized bedrooms occupy the original structure, while two stylish bathrooms—crafted by renowned local builder Lance Lennard—have been thoughtfully added. These contemporary spaces include heated polished concrete floors, a freestanding bathtub, and floor-to-ceiling tiling, adding a luxurious touch to this unique home.
Separating these unique buildings is a Palm Springs inspired garden oasis, centred around an 8m x 4m in-ground pool. The landscaped garden showcases a striking blend of yuccas, cacti, palms, river pebbles, and recycled brick pathways, creating a stylish outdoor retreat.
Centrally located, this property is only moments from Cessnock's main street and shopping centres, and just a short 10-minute drive to the acclaimed wineries, restaurants, cafés, and attractions of Pokolbin and Lovedale in the heart of the Hunter Valley.
